Starring Marcello Mastroianni in his most iconic performance, Fellini's epic follows a playboy paparazzo's weeklong adventure amid the moral decay of mid-century Roman bourgeoisie. While its condemnation by the Catholic Church spurred international buzz, what remains most striking today is the film's extravagant visual style, a break from Fellini's early-career neorealism. Rife with eye-popping set-pieces-including a dance of seduction in Trevi Fountain between Mastroianni and Anita Ekberg-this CinemaScope masterpiece demands to be seen on the big screen.
