Review of La Dolce Vita (1960) by Peter F — 31 Jan 2017
Fellini's greatest film, and possibly the most important film of the 1960s. A vignette-laden film that runs three hours, La Dolce Vita runs the risk of being formless, but instead its fluid and universal, with its themes surrounding media and class being more relevant than ever.
Filled with unforgettable imagery, lavish sequences, and featuring a broad cast of nationalities in the cast, the movie firmly began Fellini's years as an international artist, yet didn't sacrifice an iota of the beauty and humanism of his earlier work.
It also pulls off that brilliant feat of being just as sublime a comedy as it is a drama, and not even 8 1/2 would blend the two to such a delicate degree. A stunning picture for anyone's taste, La Dolce Vita is cinema at its finest, and most unsullied.
