I liked your recent
article very much.
- No.
- Why? It was fine.
It was vivid, passionate. ..
the best of you.
A quality you insist on hiding.

Marcello more than he does...

The only real woman
is the oriental one .

Mysterious, motherly,
both lover and daughter.

She huddles at your feet
like a tiger in love.

Why doesn't he stay in the Orient?
Giorgio Morandi (1890-1964) He was one of the most acclaimed Italian painters of the 20th century. Best known for his subtle, meditative large-scale still lifes. From the early supernatural paintings to the near-abstract paintings of the 1960s, Morandi spent his life exploring the essence of ordinary things.

What is it, Marcello?

I should change environment,
many things.
Your house is a refuge.
Your wife, the children, your books,
your extraordinary friends...
I'm wasting time.
I won't manage anything anymore.
Once I had ambitions...
but maybe I'm losing everything.
Safety is not being locked up
in one's home.
I'm too serious to be a dabbler
but not enough to be a professional.
A more miserable life
is better, believe me,
than an existence protected
by a perfectly organized society.
I'm your friend
but I can't give you any advice.
I can have you meet an editor
who can give you a decent job.

Steiner's pessimistic speech about the future is quoted, in English translation, in the Divine Comedy song "The Certainty of Chance". It is the speech that begins, "Sometimes at night the darkness and silence frightens me. Peace frightens me . I feel it's only a facade, hiding the face of hell."

00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,353
Sometimes at night...
28
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:29,433
this darkness, this silence
weighs on me.
Peace frightens me.
I'm afraid of peace.
It looks like an appearance
hiding hell.
I think of what my children
will see tomorrow.
They say
the world will be beautiful.

At times maybe I envy him.

01:14:45,680 --> 01:14:49,958
I see that you have
a beautiful Morandi.
Yes, he's my favourite painter.
The objects are flooded with light
and yet painted with detachment,
precision, rigour.. .
It's an art
where nothing is coincidental.
Steiner said
that you have two loves,
and you don't know
which one to choose.
Journalism or literature.
Look out for prisons!
Stay free, available, like me.
Never get married. Never choose.
Even in love,
it's better to be chosen.
=========
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,793
They say
the world will be beautiful.
How? A phone call
can announce the end of the world!
One should live beyond emotions,
in the harmony of art works...
in the enchanted order...
We should learn
to love each other so much
to live outside of time, detached.. .
Detached!

01:14:28,200 --> 01:14:30,156
What an extraordinary person!
He's written many important books
and has maintained
a childish candour.
I wonder
where he finds so much optimism.
I always watch him with stupor.
At times maybe I envy him.

in 1513, the death of Pope Julius II, his ten years on the throne and During the teaching of other popes after him, more and more masterpieces of art came out one after another because of his inspiration and encouragement.

Fashion model and singer Christa Paffgen, who adopted the pseudonym of Nico and later performed with the Velvet Underground before pursuing a solo career, plays herself in the "party of the nobles" scene. Sofia Coppola's Lost in Translation shows a heavy influence from the film . The scene in which Kelly is being interviewed in LIT very much resembles the scene in which Sylvia is being interviewed. Later in the film, Charlotte and Bob meet in the middle of the night and watch the famous fountain scene while drinking wine.
After Federico Fellini rejected the idea of Paul Newman for the lead role, Dino De Laurentiis suggested Gérard Philipe. He thought Marcello Mastroianni was "too soft and goody-goody; a family man rather than the type who flings women onto the bed."The Italian catholic party Democrazia Cristiana and the Vatican were deeply against this movie for the portrayal of the city of Rome and its vicious aristocracy (which is historically very close to the Church). One article against the movie, "La schifosa vita" (The filthy life) was probably written by Oscar Luigi Scalfaro, in 1992, President of the Republic.
It seems that term "paparazzo" was coined by Federico Fellini's friend and scriptwriter Ennio Flaiano, who seemingly derived from a novel by British Victorian novelist George Gissing ("By the Ionian Sea"). It was the last name of the owner of an Hotel in the Italian city of Catanzaro (Calabria) in southern Italy where George Gissing was staying at. In Italian last names with double zs have often a funny connotation to the (Fantozzi for instance).
In this episode, Fellini pokes fun at intellectual pretension, but he also gives Steiner an important monologue:
Sometimes at night the darkness and silence weighs upon me. Peace frightens me; perhaps I fear it most of all. I feel it is only a facade hiding the face of hell. I think, 'What is in store for my children tomorrow?' 'The world will be wonderful', they say. But from whose viewpoint? If one phone call could announce the end of everything? We need to live in a state of suspended animation like a work of art, in a state of enchantment. We have to succeed in loving so greatly that we live outside of time, detached....detached.
Steiner, who has a loving family, money, success, creative friends, is thus suffering the same anomie in which Marcello is trapped. In part it reflects the East/West conflict of that time, when the threat of nuclear holocaust seemed more threatening and played a more significant part in day-to-day consciousness than it does today. But, more universally, in the context of the film,
In the closing moments of the film, the last symbol of hope and innocence appears to him in the form of a young girl that he had earlier befriended. She beckons him to join her, but Marcello, now beyond redemption, cannot.
La Dolce Vita was a paradox from the first day it was release in 1960. The Vatican immediately placed it on its "Excluded List." The National Legion of Decency noted that, while the movie's theme was "animated throughout by a moral spirit," they none-the-less placed it in a "special classification" as a "protection to the uninformed against wrong interpretation and false conclusions."
The famous opening scene, as a statue of Christ is carried above Rome by a helicopter, is matched with the close, in which fisherman on the beach find a sea monster in their nets. Two Christ symbols: the statue "beautiful'' but false , the fish "ugly'' but real. During both scenes there are failures of communication. The helicopter circles as Marcello tries to get the phone numbers of three sunbathing beauties. At the end, across a beach, he sees the shy girl he met one day when he went to the country in search of peace to write his novel. She makes typing motions to remind him, but he does not remember, shrugs, and turns away. Roger Ebert / January 5, 1997
The music by Nino Rota is of a perfect piece with the material. It is sometimes quasi-liturgical, sometimes jazz, sometimes rock; lurking beneath is the irreverence of tuba and accordions, and snatches of pop songs ("Stormy Weather'' and even "Jingle Bells''). The characters are forever in motion, and Rota gives them music for their processions and parades.
I have heard theories that Federico Fellini's "La Dolce Vita'' catalogs the seven deadly sins, takes place on the seven hills of Rome, and involves seven nights and seven dawns, but I have never looked into them, because that would reduce the movie to a crossword puzzle. I prefer it as an allegory, a cautionary tale of a man without a center.
