This is a fairly laidback and stylish film. I can understand it's appeal, it does have a bit of a classy feel to it I suppose, although it was a bit slow and somewhat bland at times for my tastes, at about 2 hours and 40 minutes long. Some ofThis is a fairly laidback and stylish film. I can understand it's appeal, it does have a bit of a classy feel to it I suppose, although it was a bit slow and somewhat bland at times for my tastes, at about 2 hours and 40 minutes long. Some of the dialogue is good, with thoughtful observations made, although you could also argue its a bit cheesy. It's worth a watch but it isn't a film I'd choose to watch again. I liked seeing the scenes with the characters in the soft top car. I also thought it was amusing at times how Marcello dealt with the photographers who hounded Sylvia (one in particular being called Paparazzo - I wonder if the term paparazzi was named after him? having looked it up online, it seems so). This is very much a film about the lifestyle of the 'haves' in the time its set (i.e. the 1960s). Yes I'd recommend this film, although I wouldn't go too far out of your way to see it, it's worth a watch if you get the chance to see it. Expand
