In Rome in the first century AD, Encolpio and his classmate Ascilto were arguing over the ownership of the boy Gitone. They divided their belongings and planned to go their separate ways. The boy could choose who to follow, and he chose Ascilto. Encolpio, who had decided to commit suicide, survived a sudden earthquake. Following a series of adventures that took place on Encolpio, director Fellini used an almost comic style to present his fantasy life in ancient Rome to the audience, without criticizing or applauding the morality of the film. No wonder he made a statement before the filming that "Satiricon" will not be an ancient history film, but a science fiction film. The whole plot is fragmented, involving many customs of ancient Rome, especially the customs of morality, sexuality, diet and performance at that time, which can be called the "men and women of diet" in ancient Rome.

Fellini managed to make the nation great without adding any emotion, projecting huge shocks in calmness, and restoring people and things in ancient Rome in a fantastic way. It is rare for people to be in a state of madness. The lewd scene reminds me of King Zhou in the 1990 TV series "Fengshen Bang". 7.8

8.5/10. ①Ancient Rome: A series of lustful and materialistic adventures experienced by the male protagonist. ②The extremely high level of photographic art, movement of mirrors/scenarios, and exaggerated performance style like stage play all render an absurd, lewd, and realistic atmosphere. ③The narrative is too loose and broken (and does not make sense), deduct 1.5.

Vernacchio: He's beautiful! And those muscles! He cost me 35 denari. A suckling pig weighing the same would cost a lot more!
