Lots of sodomy. Less substance. Flawed yet good., 30 July 2008

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

There couldn't have been as much man-boy love in Rome as Fellini would have his audience believe, because humanity would have ceased to exist due to low birthrates. While there is plenty of shocking imagery and some gore, there are also sumptuous, extravagant sets and scenes so magical you'd expect they were created by the gods. The narrative itself is a mixed bag.

I can't get if Fellini was saying that pederasty, rape and pedophilia were OK or not. He doesn't seem to have an opinion, which is probably true to the way the ancients thought of such matters. Today it's pretty disturbing. Perhaps he was attacking the rich, the old and the tyrannical in a manner remanecent of Pasolini's "Salo." Like I said it's a mixed bag. I gave it seven stars, because of way this disturbing stuff is filmed. How Fellini manages not to make the audience puke for over two hours is a wonder.
