Full Plot Details

In first-century Rome, two student friends, Encolpio and Ascilto, argue about ownership of the boy Gitone, divide their belongings, and split up. and split up. Allowed to choose who he goes with, the boy chooses Ascilto. Only a sudden earthquake saves Encolpio from suicide, and from there he has a series of adventures; eventually he reunites with Ascilto and they help a man kidnap a hermaphrodite demi-god from a temple. The god dies, and as punishment Encolpio becomes impotent and they search for a cure. The film is loosely based on the book Satyricon by Gaius Petronius Arbiter, the "Arbiter of Elegance" in the court of Nero. The book has only survived in fragments, and the film reflects this by being very fragmentary itself, even stopping in mid-sentence.

Movie Reviews

Film4 - 10/10 by Jon FortgangTrue, the various strands are never bound together, but with material this sumptuous it really doesn't matter.
The Dissolve - 8/10 by Keith PhippsIt's, by design, an overwhelming film, and sometimes an exhausting one, but the melancholy and wariness keep it grounded.
Houston Chronicle - 7/10 by Louis B. ParksThose who don't weaken and bolt for the door experience a one-of-a-kind visual adventure they are unlikely to forget.
Scene-Stealers.com - 6/10 by Eric MelinThere's a numbness to the entire cumulative experience. That's where its true effect lies, and Fellini Satyricon is mostly a reminder of how wide open and full of possibility this particular time in cinema was.
The Spectator - 6/10 by Penelope HoustonSatyricon achieves a curious dual effect. It walks all over the audience with its gross, greasy detail, and at the same time it is deliberately uninvolved and uninvolving.
Guardian - 6/10 by Derek MalcolmStunning camerawork in deliberately garish colour from Giuseppe Rotunna, incomparable art direction, and some riveting music from Nini Rota aid Fellini in his principal task, which is simply to astonish and to widen the imagination.
The New York Review of Books - 6/10 by Alberto MoraviaSatyricon is an expressionist film. Less in the sense of historical expressionism than in that of a representation where subjectivity pushed to the borders of the unconscious signally prevails over objectivity.
Q Network Film Desk - 5/10 by James Kendrickthe film in which Federico Fellini became a parody of himself
Apollo Guide - 5/10 by Dan JardineFelliini's ancient Roman tale with a modern message is as cynical and bleak as its images are startling and original.
User Review - 10/10 by Urtatim AEsta adaptacion 'libre' del texto original de Petronio (El Satyricon, a secas) es a mi juicio un logro excelente y unico. Federico Fellini alcanza un nivel estetico subliminal acompañado de una ingeniosa puesta en escena aprovechando todos los recursos validos para la representacion. Sin ninguna duda, desde el punto de vista genial de Fellini, asi tenia que ser la Roma en epocas de Neron: una sociedad cargada y plagada de surrealismo por todas partes. Este filme tiene unas escenas de un detallismo exquisito, con unas actuaciones muy completas y sobre todo, una direccion de arte fenomenal (vestuario excelente, maquillaje de 10, escenarios y decorados impecables). Gran pelicula.
