I admit to having never seen a Fellini film, so I recorded "Satyricon" and settled in for a couple of hours of lust. That was disappointing! Why every single actor had to have heavy drag queen makeup caked on is beyond me. We know they're gay- it's the plot (such as it is)and the ridiculous makeup killed the film for me. Turning attractive actors into such hideous caricatures makes me think that Fellini was seriously conflicted about his views on sexuality in spite of the film's hype that suggests that the director approves of homosexuality. Going to have to watch some real gay porn to see any hotties apparently.

Luckily, I also recorded the film "The Barefoot Contessa" so Ava Gardner massaged my eyes for a while in the old tragedy- wearing fabulous clothes in all but one scene.
