Written by: Petronius
Plot
A dreamlike version of Petronius's tales of ancient Rome.
Sinekatalog’s take
Federico Fellini's hallucinatory vision of ancient Rome is decadent, strange and episodic. Spectacular but alienating, it feels like a pagan dream more than a story, and it is hard to forget.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
