A portrait of Rome, described through an autobiographical reconstruction of Fellini's arrival into Rome during the Mussolini years.
A very personal, even autobiographical, always loving portrayal of the city wildly mixes documentary and fictional elements in a seemingly chaotic order, but thoroughly entertaining and amusing.
Halliwell**: "Delightful mix of documentary and autobiography, combining fantasy and reality, artifice and actuality; it is a record of the director's love affair with Rome, recalled with nostalgic affection for the past and distress for its future."
Maltin***: "Famed director's impressionistic ode to Eternal City of his youth, his adolescence, and the present - complete with fantasy sequence and usual carnival-of-life point of view."
