La Dolce Vita | Director: Federico Fellini | Italy | 1960 | 174 Minutes | IMDb 8 | Subtitled

Over the course of seven days Italy’s maestro, Federico Fellini, takes us on a journey through the eternal city. Marcello Mastroianni, defining a generation of cool in his beetle-black sunglasses, stars as Marcello Rubini, a jaded journalist who tries to find meaning in life in the decadent world of Rome’s ‘smart set’. If he is to choose between a life of excess and hedonistic pleasures against a more virtuous and intellectual one, which path will he take?

La Dolce Vita was an international success both critically and commercially, and proved a landmark moment for Italian cinema and European cinema-at-large. The title itself has entered the English language along with ‘Paparazzi’, the plural form of Walter Santesso’s character ‘Paparazzo’ – the photographer – which has become a byword for the worst of tabloid journalism everywhere.

The film also stars Sweden’s Anita Ekberg who, in one of cinema’s most iconic moments, memorably takes a moonlight splash with ‘Marcello’ in the famed Trevi Fountain scene.
