La dolce vita
Federico Fellini / IT, FR, 1960 / 174 min.
Fellini’s portrait of the Roman jet set never feels dated. Marcello Mastroianni plays the dyed-in-the-wool, cynical paparazzo Marcello who develops an unexpected passion for the recently arrived, platinum blonde starlet Sylvia (Anita Ekberg).
In Sylvia’s wake, Marcello attends jet set parties in Rome, uncovering the boredom, doubt and chaos beneath the good life’s thin veneer.
