Title Company
Coming This Sunday - November 23rd, 2008, 7PM
Fellini's 1960 'La Dolce Vita'
As
part of its revised roster of activities, the bookstore
(in it NEW
LOCATION) will be celebrating foreign, camp, edgy
and cult films with a regular screening of a movie each
Sunday evening at 7pm.
This Sunday's choice is Fellini's brilliant 'La Dolce
Vita'.
Seven days (and nights) in the life of Marcello, a
Roman journalist torn between making something serious
of his life or drifting along on a pleasant if empty
stream of casual affairs and profitable, but meaningless,
newspaper and magazine work. In the course of the week,
he flirts with a visiting movie star, has a couple of
encounters with a bored socialite, one of them in a
prostitute's bedroom, is shocked when Steiner, a "serious"
writer and deep thinker kills himself and his entire
family, and generally ignores his adoring girlfriend.
In the end, he seems to have cut himself adrift on a
sea of frivolity and self-disgust, with no real idea
of how to find his way "home" again . . .
