La Dolce Vita

Perhaps Fellini's most famous film, La Dolce Vita slices into the decadent amoral core of Roman society with the director's trademark attention to detail and spectacular photography.

Marcello Mastroianni plays a gossip columnist who aspires to be a more serious writer but knows he never will be, because, like society, he is fascinated by the decadent hedonistic pursuits which are seemingly everywhere.

The Vatican was appalled by the film, but the public adored it, relishing the images Fellini fed them, most notably the now infamous scene of Mastroianni and Anita Ekberg frolicking in the Trevi fountain.

This is a spectacular morality play which has lost none of its relevance in today's celebrity-obsessed world.
