Summary (www.foreignfilms.com):  One of the most controversial films of all time, La Dolce Vita is a daring and dazzling masterpiece from Europe's premiere filmmaker, Federico Fellini, at the peak of his creative prowess and popularity. This international blockbuster follows the descent of a notorious gossip columnist into the decadent world of Rome's pampered rich. Searching only for a new scandal to expose, the writer instead finds himself hopelessly seduced by the non-stop revelry and  pleasure of the high-life. But this growing addiction to superficial pursuits puts the journalist on a crash course with tragedy and forces him to examine the values of genuine love and selfless virtue.
