Stunning camerawork in deliberately garish colour from Giuseppe Rotunna, incomparable art direction, and some riveting music from Nini Rota aid Fellini in his principal task, which is simply to astonish and to widen the imagination. Full Review

Unfortunately, the film is only a decoration, a design, so reliant on visual style that the result is very nearly a parody of the fluid camera and cinematic virtuosity of [Fellini's] earlier films. Full Review

Apart from all the debatable elements of [Federico Felliní's] style, Satiricón is a totally recommendable movie. [Full review in Spanish] Full Review

Rating: 2.5/4 -- There's a numbness to the entire cumulative experience. That's where its true effect lies, and Fellini Satyricon is mostly a reminder of how wide open and full of possibility this particular time in cinema was. Full Review

...It is so much more ambitious and audacious than most of what we see today that simply as a reckless gesture, it shames these timid times...

Satyricon achieves a curious dual effect. It walks all over the audience with its gross, greasy detail, and at the same time it is deliberately uninvolved and uninvolving. Full Review

A shallow, hypocritical film, without a glimmer of genuine creativity. Full Review

Product Description:

In SATYRICON, Italian New Wave director Federico Fellini depicts the hedonistic, amoral, pre-Christian world of ancient Rome. Using the unfinished classical writings of Petronius as his guide, Fellini invents a dreamlike culture full of strange, distant characters and odd, grotesque events. Though the film lacks a definitive plot or narrative structure, its constants are Gitone (Max Born) and Encolpius (Martin Potter), whose unsavory encounters with sex, the theater, and religion are the film's focal point. Presenting a loosely structured episodic tale of decadence and depravity in ancient Rome, SATYRICON follows the adventures of two students as they negotiate their way through a variety of mishaps, dangers, and sexual encounters. What results is a bizarre journey through ancient Rome. This story is a perfect example of Fellini's accomplished skill in bringing fantasy to the screen.
