Deep in the forest, he encounters a fabulous hotel in which a bevy of women are holding an international militant feminist meeting. The only man present, he's mistreated and maligned. Before Snaporaz is too badly abused, a butch biker babe kidnaps him. Just as she's about to sexually molest him, they're interrupted by her sweet old mother.

Plotless but undoubtedly Fellini. Federico Fellini's psychedelic exploration of feminine mysteries is another visual tour de force in an elaborate dream framework, with a ponderous tone.

It is no longer enough that Fellini deal with the ways women tantalize, dominate, and possess his male heroes. Now he must also deal with the women themselves. For Fellini, this is probably not nearly so much fun.

Interesting, but one of Fellini's weakest films.

Like a wandering Siddhartha seeking enlightenment, Mastriani pursues his ultimate dream through a vision that can only be created by Fellini.
