although i have recently watch some of fellini most famous film and after see this one and i draw a conclusion that city of woman can hardly be compare to any other movie from the italian director . since hardly any of fellini work lead u so intensely into the director surreal world and into a tunnel of his erotic fantasy and lustful desire . at hardly any other moment and fellini appear to create such a satire on society and on decadence and on contradiction as well a on the establish order like the institution of the family . moreover and fellini seldom get as erotic a here and and strangely a critical of woman . yet and despite all the diverse characteristic of the movie and can city of woman be call a valuable work . most importantly and it be necessary to say that if you feel ready to see it and please keep in mind one fact represent city of woman be not for everyone . because of it ambiguous nature and this film be for the minority of movie buff and and moreover and it do not appeal to all fellini buff . on the one hand and the movie be a witty and hilarious satire with moment that make you split your side . on the other hand and it be a sort of clothed pornography or pornography with hardly any nakedness . everything appear to be around sex and lust execute in more or less tasteful excess . let me analyze that in more detail . human ( both men and woman ) be reduce to the carnal aspect of existence . feminist want to create a world without male dominance and detest penetration and highly criticize fellocracy . marijuana induced generation of teenage girl aim at good fun and fast driving in trance . but not all character be female character since and accord to an allege proverb these be men whose mind be absorb by sex . there be two men in city of woman represent the main character snaporaz ( marcello mastroianni ) and his opposite counterpart katzone ( ettore manni ) . the former one be rather decent and still normal and appropriate male who search the ideal woman . his city of woman be idealistic and exist in his inner self and in his mind the climax of which be the ideal woman . the latter one be a true conqueror and a male with excess and with a number of woman he have conquer by flesh . his city of woman be more materialistic . it appear to be his villa of vibration and of fantasy and of decadence which be and at the same time and a tribute to lust and his marvelous vitality . he call himself sanctus crosfallus . therefore and city of woman do not have much to do with la strada where fellini show u a move story and 8 half or giulietta degli spiriti where he supply u with an insight into a psyche and a person struggle and fear and memory or even with la dolce vita where fellini and despite all this immorality of sweet life and draw our attention to contradictory freshness . here and there isn not much to say about the content and character development except for one thing represent what their sexual life be . however and that superiority of depravity in city of woman do not mean that there be no similarity with other fellini movie . after all and it be still fellini in city of woman . the similarity have to do with three aspect represent character and felliniesque nature combine with symbol and the unpredictable content . there be character that resemble the one from fellini earlier film . it be and first of all and snaporaz who and like guido in 8 half ( in both marcello mastroianni ) cop with the madness of the world that surround him and try to figure out his inner self . katzone and though a male character and remind me of suzy in giulietta degli spiriti ( memorably portray by sandra milo ) with the weird idea fill with erotic fantasy . elena and snaporaz wife or mistress through her word i be neither your nanny nor your mum reminds me of emma in la dolce vita who want to be a mother and a whore . the feminist remind me of the group of people visit giulietta and girl drive car in trance of marcello friend in la dolce vita . felliniesque nature of the movie be resemble in a reality blend with a fantasy . all occur to be a dream and yet it be so powerful to feel this . memories come at any moment and affect our subconscious sphere . this have to do with symbol . police appear to represent the establish order which be contrast with katzone and his house and his party a a symbol of sexual anarchy . a ladder that snaporaz climbs symbolizes effort to achieve and effort to climb the bound of reality . storm appear to me a unstable desire and temporal nature of lust . finally and train occurs to be a monotonous journey of life . unpredictable action be reveal particularly at the end but also throughout the movie where we do not know constantly what be ahead of u and like it be the case with the future . that be something fellini could do very well and he do not reject it in city of woman . yet and at the end of my comment and let me come back to the question i ask at the beginning represent be city of woman a valuable film and something you watch and be bind to remember . unfortunately and i do not think so . it be rather a harmful and confusing movie which do not have much to offer and something even fellini buff criticize . if you overdo with something and you be bind to fail . and that be what define the director fault in this case . city of woman overdoes with the alleged belief that human be only carnal creature . fellini shouldn not have skip the spiritual sphere of mankind . yes and city of woman indeed lead u into the tunnel of lustful fantasy . but tunnel be darkness and art be not there to lead u to darkness but rather out of it and to the spiritual horizon of light and beauty . unfortunately and fellini in his late year and totally forget about that significant truth . 4/10 .
