Movie Description
In SATYRICON, Italian New Wave director Federico Fellini depicts the hedonistic, amoral, pre-Christian world of ancient Rome. Using the unfinished classical writings of Petronius as his guide, Fellini invents a dreamlike culture full of strange, distant characters and odd, grotesque events. Though the film lacks a definitive plot or narrative structure, its constants are Gitone (Max Born) and Encolpius (Martin Potter), whose unsavory encounters with sex, the theater, and religion are the film's focal point. Presenting a loosely structured episodic tale of decadence and depravity in ancient Rome, SATYRICON follows the adventures of two students as they negotiate their way through a variety of mishaps, dangers, and sexual encounters. What results is a bizarre journey through ancient Rome. This story is a perfect example of Fellini's accomplished skill in bringing fantasy to the screen.

Credits
Cast:Alain Cuny, Fanfulla, George Eastman, Gordon Mitchell, Il Moro, Joseph Wheeler, Lucia Bose, Magali Noel, Martin Potter

Notes

Editorial Reviews
"...A series of grotesque, haunting and humorous tableaux, the film...is also an unmatched feat of costume and set design--a fever dream of ancient Rome..."
New York Times - p.E20 - A. O. Scott

"...It is so much more ambitious and audacious than most of what we see today that simply as a reckless gesture, it shames these timid times..."
Chicago Sun-Times - p.31 - Roger Ebert

"...Brilliantly designed..."
Sight and Sound - Geoffrey Macnab (07/01/2003)
