Even though my experience with Fellini does not extend beyond Amarcord and Satyricon, I believe that of the two, this one is the best one. It is a slight less dreamy and, perhaps, easier to get through. What made this movie `work' was the endless expanse of characters that blotted it. For Fellini seems a master of abstract charecature characters and story lines. There are, for example, the teachers, the prostitute, the sophisticated ladies, the wild children, the parents, the mad uncle, the girl with the white face. This town is a town of faces, of memories, of what had been.
