Marcello Mastroianni is the epitome of Italian cool in
Federico Fellini's spotlight on the world of glitz and glamour in the high society of 1960's Rome.
Paparazzi journalist Marcello Rubini begins to live his life
as a celebrity when he mixes with other people of status, equally bewitched and repulsed by the lifestyle.
One tiny criticism is that the film is a mite overlong at
three hours, but an important and iconic piece of world cinema and arguably Federico Fellini's finest film of a hugely successful career.
