Fellini Satyricon (1969) screening

A screening of Fellini Satyricon (dir. Federico Fellini, Italy, 1969), organized in collaboration with St Hilda's Classics Society. Introduced by Joanna Paul (Open University), with post-screening discussion.

'It is pointless to debate whether the film proposes a plausible interpretation of ancient Rome, or whether in some way it illustrates Petronius: the least surprising parts are those that come closest to Petronius's text or that have some vague historical significance,' (Tullio Kezich).
