Summary: The biggest hit from the most popular Italian filmmaker of all time, this film rocketed Federico Fellini to international mainstream success, ironically, by offering a damning critique of the culture of stardom. A look at the darkness beneath the seductive lifestyles of Rome's rich and glamorous, the film follows a notorious celebrity journalist during a hectic week spent on the peripheries of the spotlight.
