Fellini's Roma (Fellini, 1972): Phoenix Cinema, 11am
Chicago Reader review:
An imaginative, highly personal travelogue and essay film
by Federico Fellini (1972), one of his best works of this period. It
features the filmmaker roaming around the Eternal City with his crew,
musing about the recent and distant historical past, running into old
chums and acquaintances (such as Anna Magnani and Gore Vidal), and
occasionally indulging some flamboyant conceits for their own sake
(e.g., the memorable ecclesiastical fashion show). As usual with
Fellini, especially from the 70s on, spectacle tends to be everything.
In Italian with subtitles. 128 min.
Jonathan Rosenbaum
Here's the fabulous trailer.
