[LA CITTÀ DELLE DONNE]
Federico Fellini’s epic 1980 fantasia is a sexy, surreal tour de force akin to a Hollywood musical in its arch artifice. In a semi-reprise of his character from 8½, Marcello Mastroianni plays Federico Fellini’s alter ego Snàporaz. As if passing into a dream, the charismatic avatar finds himself initiated into a phantasmagoric world, structured as an array of psychosexual set pieces, where women — or an idea of women — have taken power, culminating in a bravura hot air balloon sequence that decisively puts the “anti” into “climax.” DIR/SCR Federico Fellini; SCR Bernardino Zapponi; PROD Franco Rossellini, Renzo Rossellini, Daniel Toscan du Plantier. Italy/France, 1980, color, 139 min. In Italian with English subtitles. RATED R
