andres s One word that would describe Fellini's style of film making would be, magical. Almost dream-like. He's never afraid to bend the rules of film making to his desire. He really knows how to pick interesting people to play equally interesting characters. I love how passionate all these musicians are about their instruments and how their instrument kind of defines who they are as a person. It's also funny to see how some think that their own instrument is more important than everyone else's. This movie is a satire. But it's also political social commentary. Like the way they start protesting towards the end. Interesting how the comically oversized metronome looks like an obelisk or maybe even supposed to represent some sort of religious figure or symbol. The way those two violin players start smacking one another lmao. Wow that female pianist though. What a knockout. Beautiful eyes. Jesus Christ, everyone turned into fucking animals by the end! Lol. It's destruction and dark times that unites us as humans. It reminds us of what we had, of better times. When everyone lets go of ego, beautiful things can happen. The conductor is supposed to represent some sort of elite figure that controls its people, kind of like the leader of a country or even someone like Hitler. The musicians represent the civilians of different social classes and the union and the big guy in the grey suit represent the people who are actually pulling the strings from behind the scenes. Kind of like the mafia or banks. I love how chaotic his movies can be sometimes. It reminds me so much of Robert Altman with the way that characters will talk over one another or how it'll jump from one person's dialogue to another without any pauses. Fellini is hilarious though, he understands comedy. This movie was entertaining for sure. Another great addition to Fellini's filmography. I'd watch this movie again, I want to see if I can pick up on any other things. It was funny, thought provoking and entertaining. Everything you need to make a good movie. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Typically absurd Fellini film is great fun. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member The discord between the members of an orchestra rehearsal filmed by a documentary crew becomes the symbol for the fragmentation of the world at large in Fellini's film. As a work of the director, it is a disappointing representation of unoriginal theories. As a vehicle for Nino Rota's music it works quite well.

All the while we have Italians lip synching to an overdubbed Italian soundtrack. So weird. Why?
