La Dolce Vita again

I said I was going to watch La Dolce Vita again and I did. and I have much more appreciation for it because I actually have some background on it and know what it is about.

That being said, it is still a very difficult movie to get into. Mostly because it is not told in the standard three act storytelling structure. Instead, it is a collection of scenes that when put together, form a theme and a message but not really a story.

The individual scenes are great though, especially the party at the end. And the beach scene, when the entire movie comes together, is very powerful.

I probably need to come back to this movie again in a couple years. Why are Fellini movies so much work? sigh...
