es emocionante ver el primer trabajo de dirección del gran fellini. muchos apuntes sobre los que volvería una y otra vez, ya están aquí. la troupe venida a menos, por ejemplo. las mujeres. el espectáculo. viva fellini!
Kinda disappointing in the grand scheme of things, but understandable for it being such an early effort from one of my favourite directors. The concept was interesting and the moral fair, it just lacked the scope and creative experimentation of Fellini's later work.
This was a fun little film. I really liked the ending.
This is only the second Fellini film I've seen (after "8 & 1/2") and I definitely think I need to see a dew more.
I liked in VARIETY LIGHTS the way Federico Fellini films the members of the troupe and their acts. He doesn't despise them at all. We do smile when they do their best to entertain the public but we smile with affection. Highly recommended.
