Writers: Federico Fellini, Ennio Flaiano, Tullio Pinelli, Brunello Rondi, Pier Paolo Pasolini
Cast: Marcello Mastroianni, Anita Ekberg, Anouk Aimee
A series of stories following a week in the life of a philandering journalist living in Rome.
The time gap between the various parts of the films are not given but each story begins at night and ends at next day's morning. Then it transitions to next story which begins at nighttime. Marcello played by Mastroianni is frustrated by the job he is doing, which he think is meaningless, and wants to switch to doing something more substantial. But he succumbs to the practicalities. The encounter with his intellectual friend is very revealing.
The film marks Fellini's transition from his previous neo-realist films to a different style seen in the latter part of his career.
Rating: 4/5
