Movie Reviews

AV Club - 8/10 by Keith PhippsA relatively minor film by Fellini standards, it's still smart, compelling viewing, and its conclusion -- an ambiguous tribute to the unifying power of the arts -- is as provocative as most of the director's films.
El Pais (Spain) - 6/10 by Jesús Fernández Santos... Fellini offers art as a final resource, a true path for the salvation of man. [Full review in Spanish]
User Review - 10/10 by Vinicius CThis is likely the finest make-believe documentary that I have ever seen. The setting is a rundown Medieval Roman chapel, now an oratorio where an orchestra gathers. A television crew is making a documentary about this orchestra (while the orchestra is dealing with a union dispute). The bulk of the film's first half focuses on individual musicians, many of whom reminisce about their first encounter with the instrument they play. When the musicians talk about their instrument, they often share thoughtful and stimulating metaphors about the meaning and the function of their instrument. There are a few times during the film where the action is interrupted by a large rumble in the building. We don't know what this is exactly until the end of the film. The film transforms from poetic, to pure comical delight, to complete chaos, to lyrical beauty when the musicians play the music. Oh, and the music, Nino Rota's last score for Fellini, is wonderful, particularly the pieces that underscores the final scene in the film. I also must comment on the top-notch cinematography by Giuseppe Rutunno, which is quintessentially Felliniesque (ex. incredible long shots of the orchestra playing, shots of musicians lined up in very particular angles, and a couple of sweeping pans).
User Review - 10/10 by Markku RThe last masterpiece by Fellini before even his extraordinary inspiration started to weaken. An absolute must not only for all those who love films, but also for those who love music.
User Review - 10/10 by TonyIMO an incredibly underrated film from Fellini. More low key and political, but I think it's very funny and having played in an orchestra myself this makes the film even more amusing.
User Review - 10/10 by Paul VGreat! i would recommend this film to any music of film major. it is filled with laughs and chaos. what a great film and such a perfect length.
User Review - 10/10 by I. Ben. NSuperbly timed Fellini comedy. One of the few scripts in which the characters offer the humour, rather than their lines.
User Review - 10/10 by Micaela Conly watch this if you're in an orchestra; then it's genius, otherwise it's just confusing
User Review - 10/10 by Randy WI actually skipped orchestra rehearsal once to sit in the library basement and watch this movie. Totally hilarious. All professional orchestral musicians (and perhaps, only orchestral musicians) would appreciate the humor.
User Review - 10/10 by Morris NI think this is my favorite movie about music as a general subject, but since it's Fellini, it's about a lot of other things as well.
