Italy/1972/128 mins/subtitled/15. Dir: Federico Fellini. With Federico Fellini, Peter Gonzales Falcon, Fiona Florence.
Fellini’s Roma gives us a very personal and rambling essay on the many faces of his vibrant and every changing city. With the slightest of narrative threads, we join a young man named Fellini as he leaves his small town of Rimini for the great city and becomes overwhelmed by its spiritual and very physical pleasures. Moving into a boarding house he dines with neighbours in great outdoor feasts, attends raucous vaudeville shows and finds a liking for the city’s bordellos. Criticised by some for leaving behind a more traditional narrative structure, this riot of a film offers Rome as the central character and includes a number of pseudodocumentary scenes of the Director himself
