In his Academy Award-winning masterpiece, master auteur Federico Fellini is at his peak, remembering and romancing about the seemingly eternal immaturity of Italy and its odd citizens. Recklessness, cruelty, and sweet nostalgia are mixed in a bizarre, almost surrealistic semi-autobiography.
A funny, dreamlike, colourful fresco. In my book of cyclic patterns.

It’s a very beautiful and poetic detail.
