And the Ship Sails On

  • Dir: Federico Fellini

  • Italy, 1983, 129 minmins, DCP

  • Cast: Freddie Jones, Barbara Jefford, Victor Poletti, Pina Bausch

Emerging from sepia-tinted silent film aura on the eve of World War I, a luxury ocean liner embarks on a voyage, carrying aristocrats, composers and singers for the memorial service of a famed diva. The absurdity and ignorance of the upper classes are soon revealed upon the arrival of a group of Serbian refugees on board. Fabricated entirely in Cinecittà studios, Fellini’s stylized comedy embellished with opera music is a quiet remembrance of an extravagant bygone era, a playful commentary on art and artists, as well as a breaking wave with visual fantasia.
