La Dolce Vita**  
(The Sweet Life)      

(Ita/Fra 1960)

Episodes in the life of a society journalist with his paparazzo photographer, meeting a number of women but unable to commit to any of them.
Rambling Fellini sexual odyssey with some memorable imagery including the statue of Christ floating over Rome, and the statuesque Anita Ekberg wading through the Trevi fountain, both of which are over with by the first hour once the poster has done its job and the audience has already paid their tickets. The rest is boringly self-indulgent at times, but Fellini works his mischievous charm throughout.
