I wanted badly to like this and actually did 'til about half way through. Whatever else I'm going to say about it, I won't deny its' visual beauty. Problem is the film changes gears from a lived-in tale of disillusionment and the shallowness of fame to becoming all... hopeful and high-spirited (just threw up in my mouth a little bit, just typing that). You know- "the show must go on", "all the world's a stage", "c'est la vie" *BLARGH!!!* (excuse me) etc. etc. I... I just don't care.

Fellini's masterpiece.

I know exactly how he feels, and hate myself for knowing.

my favourite Fellini. it shares the podium with Amarcord.

A really amazing film that lives up to its reputation. It's filled to the brim with ideas about life and film and, while they're all tethered together through Guido's quasi mid-life crisis, it's still amazing that everything works so well. I was surprised by how often I found myself laughing even though I wouldn't call this a comedy. I found a few parts here and there to be incoherent, but I think this is the type of movie that really requires several viewings to really get everything out of it

A bit too hard to follow, but undeniably brilliant at what it does.

Accept me as I am. Only then can we discover each other.

classic

favorite bohemian flick. Beyond limits!

Creative blockage of a filmmaker dpeicted as a surrealistic dream. Often joyous.

some scenes were very catchy nd uplifting, some were very surreal, some were downright stupid nd i dont know wot de fuss is about dis movie being one of de best movies ever-maybe when i m old nd about to die,i wil look back at my life nd understand wat dis movie was tryin 2 say...

Difficult to watch at times. It's full of stunning b&w cinematography and has some great moments, but ultimately it was hard for me to be compelled by such a futile, unchanging story. Yes, I realize that this was the point, but it indulged itself so much on this point that it hampered my ability to enjoy the film.

It is incredibly bold and well-made, but the fact that it was such a personal film for Fellini makes it feel a bit harder for me to deeply connect with. However, I want to watch it again with a better copy.
