Set in Rome in the 1950s, Fellini’s depiction of a civilization in decline spares no one, from the poor and pious to the rich and famous.

It covers seven days and nights in the life of a reporter, and his encounters with the women in his life. The film, in black and white, includes the Trevi Fountain scene – one of the iconic moments in cinema history – and the famous opening scene of a plaster statue of Christ being carried across Rome by helicopter.

Winner of the Palme D’Or at the Cannes Film Festival in 1960.
