7/10
the end of Fellini's career
10 April 2024
After almost half a century in cinema, Federico Fellini released his swan song in the form of "La voce della luna" ("The Voice of the Moon" in English). With this movie, Fellini continued his embrace of the bizarre, with Roberto Benigni's fake well inspector experiencing a kaleidoscopic world of beauty pageants, fascism, and pop music.

Apparently, a lot of critics maligned the movie. I guess that they didn't interpret it as being as artistic as most of Fellini's movies. Maybe so, but I found it to be an enjoyably surreal experience. To be certain, Federico Fellini's worst movie is still better than Michael Bay's best movie. I recommend it, even if it isn't up there with "La strada", "8 1/2" or "Satyricon".

To think that I watched a moon-related movie right after a total solar eclipse - with the moon blocking out the sun - passed over much of the country.
