　　如果说《想当年》是费里尼对少年时代的回忆，《八部半》是对他中年创作危机的记载，《罗马》是对他所爱的城市的礼赞，那么本片就是他对Cinecitta电影厂的颂歌。
　　影片将回忆、嘲讽、自省、幻想等元素融合在一起，让我们见识了镜头前后的各种人物。影片高潮是《甜蜜的生活》的重映把片中主角重新聚集一堂，颇有一点大师主掌央视《同一首歌》的味道。

　　This would definitely not have been my kind of movie, but my husband saw it on TV and said it was really good. So, on his recommendation, I bought a copy, since I didn't know if it would ever be on TV again. I had never heard of anybody in it except Armand Assante. At first I had a hard time getting into the story, because the first part of the movie is a jumble of images-- and it doesn't make much sense. It is only later in the movie that it all comes together. The scene-cutting- if that's what it's called, is a bit jarring-- it sometimes looks as if a few frames have been cut out of each scene, and the scenes are jerky--but I guess that was done to add to the unusualness (if that's a word). The story veers here and there, and just about the time you have it all figured out, everything turns upside down and you have to readjust your thinking as to who is the bad guy and who is not. Or bad woman. The acting is very good-- I kept thinking how much Norman Reedus looks like Leo Decaprio. The ending was a real twist, totally unexpected, which I liked. A good show.
