Tribute to Fellini's La Dolce Vita

Rating: Null/10 (22 March 2004)

I've been looking at the comments and I am surprised nobody comments all the explicit and implicit references to Fellini's movie in Lost in Translation, which are definitely there.
The same "emptyness" and scenes from parties and cotidianity is present there, but there's more, La Dolce Vita is actually shown in a TV screen.

Fellini's masterwork was the best movie I have seen where nothing really happens, just a few days in a few characters lifes, and a strong sensation of sadness at the end. That's exactly the sensation that Lost in Translation looks for.
I am not saying that Lost in Translation is not original, it definitely is, but it is a tribute to Fellini at the same time.
