Arguably Fellini’s greatest film, La Dolce Vita is a searing critique
of a celebrity-obsessed, hedonistic world as seen through the eyes of a
fluff-peddling journalist - Marcello Mastroianni famously plays a
gossip columnist and would-be novelist who chronicles "the sweet life''
of fading aristocrats, second-rate movie stars and aging playboys in
high society Rome in the 50s.
Armed with his “paparazzi” (the film
coined the term), the philandering Marcello ultimately succumbs to
loneliness, meaningless and tragedy as he flees his obsessive, suicidal
fiancé while vainly vying for the affections of a vivacious screen
goddess (Anita Ekberg).
A departure from Fellini’s earlier neorealist
films (I Vitelloni, La Strada), La Dolce Vita ushered the more surreal,
lyrical style of colour films like Juliet of the Spirits, and, winner
of the Palme D'Or at Cannes (1960), remains a milestone of European
cinema.
