Satyricon
Rome. Before Christ. After Fellini.
Directed by Federico Fellini
Produced by PEA
A hallucinatory, visually baroque odyssey through decadent ancient Rome that prioritizes surreal spectacle and philosophical wandering over narrative coherence or emotional warmth.
After his young lover, Gitone, leaves him for another man, Encolpio decides to kill himself, but a sudden earthquake destroys his home before he has a chance to do so. Now wandering around Rome in the time of Nero, Encolpio encounters one bizarre and surreal scene after another.
