Fellini barfed

Rating: 1/10 (23 March 2002)

I cannot believe that this film has garnered such rave reviews. I suspect it will do well with the American "academy",as it is a tad off-the wall,but any interest beyond that is not warranted. Obviously,the director saw a couple Fellini classics back in the '70s. For some mis-guided reason,somebody gave him a pile of cash to make a "musical".Aside from some interesting technical flashes,there is nothing to redeem this mess.Oh...maybe the "corporation" that covers Lady Marmalade,shown as a 3 minute clip at the end of the film...that was the best moment,and the only part of the production that should have been released.Maybe when the people resonsible for this nightmare come down off their'70s induced buzz they will understand...They cannot mess with truely inovative film making..and copying a master never works.
