I remember having to sneak into the International Cinema on Manor Rd and Yonge Street in Toronto to see this because it was restricted - and in those days... they were really 'strict' about us underage movie-lovers trying to get into controversial films like this... By today's standards, of course... you have to ask: What's the big fuss?!!! LOL... Ah mama mia! - 'Nostalgia' ain't what it used to be! Anyway... As a teenager this movie had my eyes open like saucers... I couldn't believe adults could conduct themeselves with such debauchery! Of course... I also thought Fellini was a genius (lol... I was in good company - so did most of the Western world!) Now... seeing it again... I think that Fellini was a narcissist who couldn't look up long enough, from staring at his navel, to see what truly great life the rest of the world was enjoying all around him! The acting in the film is superb, of course, and Marcello is at his best, being both lovable and an absolute scoundrel! ...Still a 'sexy' movie... after all these years!
