La Dolce Vita ***
Federico Fellini, 1960
Italy
@ Northwest Film Forum

I can understand now why this is viewed on the same level as 8 1/2, but it reinforces why Fellini will never quite be one of my favorites. His dreamlike scenes are magical in their own right, but somehow fail to cohere into a thematic structure that really resonates with me. This sounds idiotic as I type, but it's at least very close to what I feel watching his films.
