11a LA DOLCE VITA Fellini was a world cinema master in the 1950's. After La Dolce Vita in 1960, he achieved a velocity that catapulted him out of the stratosphere into the cosmos. Very few movies so shocked, revolutionized, galvanized a moment as La Dolce Vita. The story of the intense struggle between decency and hedonism in celebrity journalist Marcello (Marcello Mastroianni in one of his key performances) in Rome, Italy, La Dolce Vita captured the whole world moving from an older set of values to the ones that still have currency: fame, celebrity, disruption. Fellini follows Marcello through parties, orgies, publicity junkets, crazy relationships. All pulsing to Nino Rota's incredible score, La Dolce Vita found a way to make the conflict between the spiritual and the material BOTH entertaining and life-changing. Fellini's success was so meteoric that his next movie, 8 1/2, often considered his masterpiece and one of the greatest movies of all time, dealt with his struggle to make a new movie after the reaction of La Dolce Vita.
Some movies are meant to be seen on the big screen. This is one of them. On a 35mm archive print.
Go to next door's historic Grand Central Market for breakfast, lunch, dinner, drinks as we screen these two all-time world classics. On glorious 35mm.
