Gaudy, more integrated than later Fellini, but this take on feminine psyche lacks vision.

A dazzling technical achievement, from the color to the tracking shots that delight in running down every detail of Juliet's companions.

Visually splendid piece of eye candy that hides behind its gaudy exteriors an emptiness and lack of vision.

despite Fellini's indulgences, much of the film works largely due to Giulietta Masina's fine performance
03/17/02
Fellini stands on the brink, desperately grabbing at bits of his past, and boldly looking forward to a new future of decadence and garish color (this was his first in color).

Despite Fellini's best efforts to make her seem dull, Masina anchors the film with her clear-eyed portrayal.

The movie that swirls around Masina is a dazzling -- and, for some, incoherent -- production deep into the feminine psyche.

At once an eye-popping display of bravura and a work of compassionate insight.

Top CriticIt is arguably Fellini's most personal masterpiece, but those who may have stumbled upon it and don't know much about Fellini's films most certainly couldn't choose a better one to start with.
