Trivia:
The film contributed the term "paparazzi" to the language. The term derives from Marcello's photographer friend Paparazzo. In Italian, "Paparazzo" has the form of a masculine singular noun. "Paparazzi" is the plural.

Goofs:
Miscellaneous: In the castle, Marcello lights a match to view some ancestral paintings. A spotlight is used to enhance the light of this match, but does not follow the actor's movements very closely and gives the illusion away.

It left me in silence for at least half of an hour after watching it. It's simply incredible. No other movie has kept so glued on the screen (consider that this one is 3 hours long!). It seems like you're watching the matter of your dreams, especially in the world wide famous scene at the Fontana di Trevi and in the amazing final scene (again, the best final ever). I don't know what else to say, for there's no word to describe this astonishing vision. I don't understand the people who don't like this.
