17 anni dopo 8 1/2, il solo e unico Marcello nazionale tornò a collaborare con l’irrefrenabile maestro Fellini per una storia su (che altro?) un playboy attempato alla ricerca di se stesso assediato da donne di ogni tipo in un’Italia appena scopertasi femminista.
Cinema maestro Federico Fellini gleefully satirizes the ivory tower of classical music in this playful late work, where the rehearsal of a Nino Rota piece erupts into a cacophony of sore egos. Brilliantly self-referential, the structure of a TV documentary forms a meta critique of the medium itself.
Dario Argento united with his daughter for this unusual family giallo collaboration which finds Asia as a young policewoman afflicted by the titular disease: art’s masterpieces have a mesmeric, transportive effect on her. A rabbit hole of total ruin and horror ensues. Not for the faint of heart!
