La Dolce Vita

The PG was originally released in 1960. It's about seven days (and nights) in the life of a Marcello, a Roman journalist torn between making something serious of his life or drifting along on a pleasant if empty stream of casual affairs and profitable, but meaningless, newspaper and magazine work.

In the course of the week, he flirts with a visiting movie star (Anita Ekberg) has a couple of encounters with a bored socialite (Anouk Aimee), one of them in a prostitute's bedroom, is shocked when Steiner (Alain Cuny), a "serious" writer and deep thinker kills himself and his entire family, and generally ignores his adoring girlfriend (Yvonne Furneaux).

In the end, he seems to have cut himself adrift on a sea of frivolity and self-disgust, with no real idea of how to find his way "home" again . . .
