  As italian as spaghetti
  
  Reminded me very much in style of 'Roma'. Although I did hope and expect for more of a plot in this one. Still it's quite from the everyday run of ... read more »

  If you see only one Fellini, see this.
  
  Fellini movies traditionally have no plot, the camera wanders around bumping into bizarre often grotesque characters who make their point, be it about religion... read more »

  I've seen all Fellini's early neo/poetic realist films. This is at the end of these before he changes his approach. I felt I might not like this film, ... read more »

  Fellini's Italy

  Just Another Fellini Cavalcade
  
  I've watched practically all of Fellini's films now and can therefore say that generally each is more a cavalcade of colourful scenes than a gripping or... read more »

  Excellent
  
  This is my favourite film of all time. There's not much of a plot. The film is a simple collage of Fellini's teenage memories. Very hard to describe, ... read more »

  not for fellini novices
  
  quite tedious, with crass humour and situations. It goes without saying, fellini's done infinitely better work.

  Brilliant
  
  A tour-de-force of autobiographical whimsy, brilliantly filmed, constructed, acted, etc. Almost as good as La Dolce Vita, and that's saying something.
