"Sprawling and conspicuously undisciplined, this is less an adaptation of Petronius than a free-form fantasia on his themes. Fellini's characteristic delirium is in fact anchored in a precise, psychological schema: under the matrix of bisexuality, he explores the complexes of castration, impotence, paranoia and libidinal release. And he pays homage to Pasolini's ethnographic readings of myths. It's among his most considerable achievements." - Time Out

Synopsis

A truly literate and sophisticated film spectacle by perhaps the greatest of all film artists, this Oscar nominated masterpeice by Federico Fellini is a fabulous trip into a totally decadent civilisation delivering a brilliant visual fantasy unlike anything you have seen before.

Step in to the bawdy, erotic and titillating world of Rome during the days of Emperor Nero, where two competing teachers play tricks on each other while vying for their young male lover's charms.
