A woman totally dependent on her disloyal husband comes to
terms with her situation and begins to gain independence as dreams, memory, and
reality all begin to merge. Federico Fellini’s first feature length foray into
color, and segue into the fantastical, carnivalesque films of his later career
is a bizarre, trippy, and mostly plotless journey into the subconscious told
with brilliant direction and radiant color and imagery. Fellini’s wife,
Giuleietta Masina, shines in the lead role.
