    Editorial Reviews

    Fellini's Roma is a virtually plotless autobiographical tribute to Rome, Italy, featuring narration by Fellini himself and a mixture of real-life footage and fictional set pieces. It flows from episode to episode, beginning with the director's early years arriving in Rome in 1931 during the time of Mussolini. Played by Stefano Mayore as a child, he visits the city with classmates and becomes infatuated. Played by Peter Gonzales at age 18, the young Fellini moves in to a tenement building and explores the wild characters living in neighborhood. The events that follow switch between the past and contemporary times, including a story line that involves a 1970s film crew making a movie about Rome. He also incorporates segments of Roman history and problems in the government, including an improvised speech from Gore Vidal. Throughout this journey there are visits to an outdoor restaurant, a movie theater, a music hall, and a brothel. In one famously surreal segment, groups of clergymen gather together for a Catholic fashion show spectacle. After a visit to a street festival and some on-camera interviews, the film concludes with shots of motorcycles driving by the Colosseum. Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide

    April 16, 2003: Fellini's film Roma should not be watched from the viewpoint of seeing another 8 1/2 or La Strata. Roma is similar to Satyricon; a collection of scenes, metaphors and sick absurdity, all conglomerated in a nonfigurative opus. Some great sections to Roma: an underground passageway displayed with ancient murals; a bordello that features a young Fellini himself; a meeting with Gore Vidal on a veranda; & an outrageous modeling of the Roman Catholic Church, catwalk & all.
