  • Starring: Anita Ekberg, Marcello Mastroianni
  • Summary: One of the most controversial and acclaimed of Federico Fellini's many classics, La Dolce Vita stars Marcello Mastroianni as a third-rate reporter who lives a playboy's life as he pursues a shabby career of scandal mongering. His increasingly amoral interest in the "sweet life" of high society takes him to hedonistic parties and orgies throughout modern day Rome, as days and nights blur into one another.

    One of the cinema's true classics.

    The movie is made with boundless energy. Fellini stood here at the dividing point between the neorealism of his earlier films (like "La Strada") and the carnival visuals of his extravagant later ones ("Juliet of the Spirits," "Amarcord'').

    A profound film by a legendary director in the greatest period of his career.

    In one movie, at least, the ethical baseline (heisted, you could argue, from "Sweet Smell of Success") gave Fellini's roaming, cluttered mise-en-scène a chilling gravity he could never genuinely locate again.
