Movie Reviews of Fellini - Satyricon
Movie Review: A film that transcends the limitations of storytelling
Summary: 5 Stars
Satyricon, by Le Maestro, Federico Fellini, is simply one of the most enthralling films ever produced. From the phantasmagorial depiction of Roman life, to our two hapless protagonists, Fellini spins a tale of deceit, duplicitous alliances and fascinating intrigues. The visual imagines are dazzling and the stunning plot arcs from bungled kidnapping and incredible travels to retribution and redemption.
If you just don't 'get' this wonderful allegorical journey, do yourself a favor and watch it continually until you do.
Satyricon is a perfect example of the powerful potential of film to transcend the limitations of story telling along with an incredible display of Fellini's marvelous and seemingly limitless imagination.
Movie Review: Petronius would have loved it
Summary: 5 Stars
Good ol' Gaius Petronius...If you want to read all about Nero's Rome, you can't beat "The Satyricon". Buy it on Amazon -- or something--
It's as overblown-funny as it is shockingly-disgusting and the author knows it...That is why it's a masterpiece that echos down through history.
Now -- Fellini wants to film it circa 1970?
Well, he (is) Italian...So, I guess he's got first dibs.
My Review: Do not miss one of the great self indulgent classical trainwrecks in all cinema...Who cares if this film sux...It's a one of a kind treat. Gaius Petronius would have loved this surrealistic mess.
Movie Review: Astounding hedonistic delight - Fellini on acid??!!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you're uptight about gay themes or gore steer clear of this one. It's loaded with sex and violence, following its main protagonist on a Gulliver's journey through decadent ancient Rome. Filtered through the lens of Giuseppe Rotunno, with bleak, stunning sets and gorgeous costumes, the film's imagery transcends normal concepts of ugliness and beauty. Its theme is the interplay of Fate and desire, at a time and place where security was tenuous at best and hedonism was the only philosophy worth pursuing. This is Fellini's most adventurous movie. A treat for adventurous viewers.Movie Review: The Greatest Movie Ever Made
Summary: 5 Stars
This brilliant movie, without a doubt Fellini's best, remains faithful to the spirit of the 1800 year old original while at the same time possessing an ironic modernism that makes it very relevant to our own times.I'm looking forward to the DVD so that I can freeze- frame as they walk down the winding labyrinths of the incredibly stark and beautiful ancient Rome that Fellini's genius has so masterfully depicted and clearly see into each doorway to get the intricate details woven into this wonderful tapestry.Movie Review: So far out that it's in
Summary: 5 Stars
I exhibited this film when it was first released. Fellini had always been a favorite director. What creative imagination he had. This has two young good looking men in ancient days, Hiram Keller and Martin Potter. There is a lot of homosexual situations and a real cast of characters. I love this film and it is at the top of my list of favorites. The last DVD transfer was very good. Satyricon will be a film remembered for many years.
