That's why the word is preceded by an ellipsis; it's my feeble attempt at irony. Maybe I should have added quotation marks, and then followed it with a footnote stating what you so succinctly did. I think most people got the point!<BR/><BR/>At any rate, it's a great film, as you know.

For that term to have any meaning it should only be used to refer to films that attempt to be like Fellini's, whether or not they are successful. <BR/><BR/>Okay, maybe you could describe "The Voice of the Moon", a real pastiche of effects that I don't think holds together well, as Fellini-esque, but Juliet of the Spirits isn't like Fellini, it simply is Fellini at his best.Herb Levyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18361075879064632458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-78955394871311872362008-03-26T17:22:00.000-04:002008-03-26T17:22:00.000-04:00You kids are right, of course!

That's half the fun!<BR/><BR/>Watching "Satyricon" is like watching somebody else's dream; little context or explanation is given---one is simply left in a sea of surreal imagery to do with what one may. It really is a glimpse into another world...again, one that could really only exist on film.<BR/><BR/>Of course that doesn't mean one has to like it!
