A masterpiece of 'baroque' film-making or just rambling and self-indulgent? Opinions on this first colour film of Fellini will always be divided.
Superlative production values of course, technical virtuosity and a tantalising cast but this remains nonetheless a film without 'heart' which is less about character than about caricature whilst attempts to make the talented but diminutive Giulietta Masina look 'chic' are not entirely successful.
I am glad to have finally seen this stylish exercise but would I wish to see it again? Probably not.
