| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeInteresting, but one of Fellini's weakest films. |
| Boston GlobeBruce McCabeSome viewers, mindful of Fellini's reputation, will be impatient with the film. Its restlessness and turbulence will unnerve them. But there is genius at work here. |
| Time OutGilbert AdairOnly a pinchpenny soul could denigrate the generosity, the sheer fertility of the Maestro's invention in this curate's egg by Fabergé. |
| User ReviewMala GIt's a mind tripping movie..the first of Fellini's coloured film we ever watched.. It's a very very long movie and the stuff you are exposed to watch its so much that your logic won't be need it anymore.. The Maestro was a real one..out of its time..imagine a world of women and just you..which one will you pick? A nightmare at times, tediously long, grotesque and full of surreal moments.. Taking a closer look, A journey into a man's mind is probably just like this film.. |
| User ReviewJorge SAnother good movie from Fellini. It doesnt make sense too much feminism, just like macho only point of views. Agian and again and again balance is the key and again. |
| User ReviewNicolas AOne of Fellini's most hypnotic films. |
| User ReviewVesa KI am conflicted on this film. It's somehow a scathing indictment of sexism and yet a shameless embracing of it at the same time. I suppose that may have been the point, Fellini always claimed to obsessed with women, but he also seems to retain a strong amount of admittedly immaturte sexuality so I suppose he may have felt conflicted about feminism himself at the time. Whatever his intention and despite some of it's more disagreeable elements this is still a bizzare and over-the-top amalgamation of surreal visual spectacle and bawdy humor and still comes out as one my favorite fellini films. |
