Fellini's La dolce vita has been a phenomenon since before it was made, a scandal in the making and on release in 1960 and a reference poiMuch of what made it notorious was its incorporation of real people, events and lifestyles, making it a documentation of its time. It uses performance, camera movement, editing and music to produce a striking aesthetic mix of energy and listlessness, of exuberance and despair. Richard Dyer's study considers each of these aspects of the film – phenomenon, document, aesthetic – and argues that they are connected. Beginning with the inspirations and ideas that were subsequently turned into La dolce vita, Dyer then explores the making of the film, tand finally its critical reception, providing engaging new insights into this mesmerising piece of cinema.
