Found it quite messy... Glimpse of good ideas and the premise is ok, but the execution is just random scenes without think of the movie as a whole (6/10)
It's sinuous, twinkling, floating maze of memories, dreams, experiences, imationations, feelings, everyday life and facts that happened years ago and coexist with today's life, mixed together with the midst of longing and foreboding during stationary and shapeless, and you already know wo you are, whom you have been doing and your lives, which is just how much meaningless waking dream. But in the final this sense is found, restored in a beautiful procession. It makes you love life as is it.
Every frame of this film could stand alone as a remarkable and breathtaking photograph while its themes on creativity, fidelity and truth resonate across the artistic spectrum.
Great movie. This movie is much better than the 2009 remake Nine. This one has a certain level of professionality. Fellini is one of my favorite directors!
Bellísimo!
PERFECT!!!
i had a great nap during this movie
This is definitely a masterpiece.
If you haven't seen this movie, you are not a movie lover.
Probably my favorite movie of all time.
Why is it imdbtagged Fantasy by the way, their own definition says "should contain numerous consecutive scenes of characters portrayed to effect a magical and/or mystical narrative throughout the title."...???
