Review

A star rating of 4 out of 5.

David Parkinson

Federico Fellini received an Oscar nomination for best director for this deliriously surreal moving fresco of ancient Rome. This is La Dolce Vita out of Petronius by way of Pasolini and DeMille, with the antics of Nero's empire being used to comment on contemporary godlessness. The adventures of squabbling hedonists Martin Potter and Hiram Keller don't matter a fig beside the debauchery and depravity, which for all their seeming excess are not that divorced from historical reality. Over-indulgence, indiscipline and sexual immaturity are the usual accusations hurled at this hellish vision, but few film-makers would have had the courage to make it.
