City of Women
Dir: Federico Fellini
Italy, 1980, 139 minmins
Cast: Marcello Mastroianni, Anna Prucnal, Bernice Stegers
Women’s liberation on display, or male egoism in disguise? Beyond doubt is Fellini’s autobiographical hero being always smothered by women. A mysterious encounter leads Snàporaz, a libidinal creature, into an erotic yet frightening odyssey of sexual fantasies. From a feminist conference to a sex-crazed maniac’s lavish celebration, a variety of women ranging from old crones, hot-rodding punks to seductive nymphs in his life are conjured. Originally conceived as a joint project with Ingmar Bergman, Fellini’s self-reflective mid-life crisis film is equally fitting to be “sincere to the point of being indecent”.
