La Dolce Vita (The Sweet Life)
1960 · Movie · 175 min. · Italy
On assignment to chronicle the lives of the rich and famous Italian aristocracy in a gossip column for a Roman newspaper, Marcello (Mastroianni) floats from one fabulous party to the next, meeting all varieties of beautiful, extravagant people.
