Yes - sometimes you just have to roll with "mad" Fellini - I mean we all like Amacord and I Vitelloni, but there are days when you just crave "The Full Federico". Fellini Satyricon is even more baffling. During my carefree student days eons ago, I even read Petronius Arbiter's Satyricon to try and get a grip on what Fellini was trying to convey, but I was still baffled. Haven't seen Casanova, so I'm looking forward to this.I for some reason love this film. When I first saw it, I was even more confused however. Due to a scheduling cock up in the paper, I entered just as the film resumed after intermission, and had even less understanding of what was going on than the average viewer. It was a time when theatres would call film showings "continuous", and I had more time than today, so I decided to stay to see it again to figure it out. Imagine my surprise when it started with a whole section I had not realized I had missed! -- I still couldn't figure out the movie!
