LA DOLCE VITA (1960)

We were do to review this film in the Best Film series, but it came in cracked.

When you report damage to Netflix they ask if you want to have the broken disk replaced.

I checked no. I have seen it so many times, I couldn't bear another viewing. Maybe ten more years.

I love the film but it sits nicely in my memory.

Good enough.

So, this is an air-rating.

5 out of Netflix5.

I love Fellini but not enough to do three hours of 'the sweet life' again.

Besides, La Strada is coming right up.

It is odd that the Best Films listing ignores all the French articles 'le' but makes all the Italian ones, 'la' be in the L's.

Or some of them.

It is inconsistent.

Hard to believe that the NYTimes would be inconsistent, eh?
