For many years, its brilliance was unappreciated... by me.
Actually, I agreed with the critical comments made by the character (dirrector's assistant?) within the film itself. But, slowly, as I became familiar with the scenes, their interaction, the story of the director's life became clearer--- this autobiography must rank with the greatest.
It's as if I previously had looked into the sun and now, knowing to look to the side, I finally beheld the true radiance.
I know I'm babbling but it's impossible to say anything original about this masterwork. I will, anyway: the cinematography is as "new" today as it was decades ago.
Mastroianni gives an understated performance, eschewing all of his screen persona.
With "La Dolce Vita," I don't know of an equal one-two in any director's portfolio, unless it's Welles...
