Fellini Satyricon
Dir: Federico Fellini
Italy, 1969, 130 minmins, DCP
Cast: Martin Potter, Hiram Keller, Max Born
Describing it as a “science-fiction film”, Fellini set off a pagan magic-carpet ride through Nero’s Rome that almost looks like a futuristic utopia/dystopia. Spun from Petronius’ Satyricon, the free-form fantasia takes wing when two pansexual young men fight over the favors of a handsome slave boy, as they drift through a lustful, delirious landscape. A journey through time in the confines of Cinecittà studios, the dreamer’s sprawling expedition into sexual licentiousness, castration complex and libidinal release conjures up one of his most lavish cinematic myths.
