official description

Federico Fellini's panorama of "the sweet life" defined decadence for a generation with its vision of Rome at the height of the postwar Italian economic miracle. Marcello Mastroianni plays a writer turned gossip columnist who drifts from party to party, a detached observer of the Eternal City's frenzy of false miracles, promiscuous sex and resigned despair. Containing some of the most memorable imagery in all cinema—including the opening shots of a statue of Jesus suspended from a helicopter and the voluptuous Anita Ekberg cavorting in the Trevi Fountain— La Dolce Vita decisively marked Fellini's move from neorealism into the wilder realms of fantasy and allegory.

Thanks to Michela Calisse and Paolo Ruggiero, Cinecittà Luce SpA.
