Fellini is indeed a great director

Some time ago, Fellini's endless metaphors and exaggerations, such as "The Dolce Vita", have been disapproving of.

But re-watching this eight and a half (the first time I watched it without subtitles, I guessed and didn't understand it), I have to admit that Fellini is a great director. He dared to face his own heart, and insisted on the truth of this heart.

I remember there was a clip in the movie I watched at the time, in which the male protagonist made love with an old prostitute, but it seems to be missing in the current movie. I don't know if I remembered it wrong.
