I’m not sure I can add anything to the existing critical consensus in reviewing this, so I will simply say that it is an astonishing film that contains just about everything I love about cinema.

I think I loved this (?) even though I'm sure I didn't fully absorb everything upon first viewing. What stuck with me most was its lonesome, mournful tone--even as Marcello haunts the nights seeking salvation he is left wanting in a way that hurts my heart. I'm sure I'm missing some context-specific commentary on the press or the intelligentsia of post-war Italy, but on a purely humanistic level the movie spoke to something in me that I can't fully articulate. Definitely worth revisiting.

But, much like my feelings towards 8½ and its 130 minute exploration of the artistic anxieties clawing at an enormously successful, world-renowned filmmaker: _I just don't care._

I'll probably be crucified especially given my username and how many love this film, but I found this to be insufferable, borderline pretentious aimless drama (which I generally don't mind, see Lost in Translation, which briefly had a scene from this film) featuring a repugnant main character.
