This weekend i saw La Dolce Vita (The Good Life), by famous Italian director Federico Fellini. A 1960's Black white film based on the "goodness" of being in the limelight.
Over the years in film class i had heard over and over again people raving about this timeless classic, so i thought i might give it a go.
I have to say it was 180 minutes of sheer bafflement. Apologies to those who feel this movie is a legend but it was just not for me. The plot a critique on the papparazzi and the rise and fall of the rich and famous, is pertinent even today but the layout of the movie was rather confusing.

I'm not completely sure how I feel about this movie and dont know if i really understood it. I do believe i am the sorta girl who gets "artsy movies and have a background where i understand depth in storylines and "artisitic" direction, but sadly it didnt cut it for me and i am not entirely clear of why this movie is rendered a great achievement.
Nevertheless ' La Dolce Vita' is a film of all time and is visible in pop culture in respect to its iconic costume and styling.
Still, if you see it, tell me what you think?
