CGiii Comment
3 minutes of laborious opening credits...not a great start...hey, it's Fellini!
If you can accept the unacceptable over-dubbing, if you can by-pass the sledge-hammer direction, if you can ignore the sub-standard acting and ridiculous characterisations...then, this Fellini film may be even watchable.
This is nonsense.
Trailer...
The(ir) Blurb...
Amelia and Pippo are reunited after several decades to perform their old music-hall act (imitating Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers) on a TV variety show. It's both a touchingly nostalgic journey into the past, and a viciously satirical attack on television in general and Italian TV in particular, portraying it as a mindless freakshow aimed at morons.
