If you appreciate the films of Feillini, you'll totally enjoy this film. There's been a spate of nasty criticism here in the City about this film, and I have to say I think it's undeserved. Don't let the press' poison keep you away. It's well worth the time and money. We saw it at the Ziegleld Theater which made it all the more enjoyable.
It is what it is, and if you go to it expecting profound plots, action/adventure, or high drama, you'll be disappointed. But then one never got that at any one of Fellini's films!
Totally blown away by this film. Everything about it screams "Flawless!". Technologically it is cutting edge, visual imagination boundless, humor, delight, awe, music score brilliant.
