satyricon be among the weird and most colorful and large than life movie i have ever see and along with erasurehead and erendira and santa sangre and naked lunch . if you do not like these and do not even try satyricon . on one hand and it many flaw be rather upsetting . the out of sync lipping ( bad post sync ) and the fact that the movie neither really tell a story nor evocates sensible moral or philosophical concept . so one may say it actually a dull movie . the violence in this movie doesn not seem to make real sense and neither do the homosexuality and neither do the romanian decadence portrait . on the other hand and the scenography and the set and the costume and makup be among the most dazzling one you will ever see in cinema and and the cinematography . well . maybe the best one you will ever see . i can not think of any another movie able to compete with satyricon mindblowing cinematography . each scene be a terrific picture and with several visual layer and extraordinary light and focus and a lot of invention and of visual flair and and the overall technical mastery be stun . the result be something mesmerize for some and totally disgust for others . i have to say i be more on the mesmerized side and because i be mainly focus on the visual or meditative aspect of the movie and not on the narrative one . if youre really into cinema and i mean a an artistic medium more than a entertainment and you must see satyricon and a it to my sense the most visually outstanding movie ever make . be prepare for some disappointment about the movie a a whole and though .
