Fellini Satyricon 1969  R, 128 min.
Genre: Foreign / Drama / Comedy / Adventure / Romance
aka: Satyricon
Director: Federico Fellini
Cast: Martin Potter, Hiram Keller, Max Born, Capucine, Salvo Randone, Mario Romagnoli, Magali Noel, Alain Cuny, Lucia Bose, Fanfulla, Danika La Loggia, Giuseppe Sanvitale
In first-century Rome, Encolpio (Martin Potter) and Ascilto (Hiram Keller) are both trying to seduce a young lad, Gitone (Max Born). Ascilto wins and takes Gitone with him. This leaves Encolpio on his own until later when he and Ascilto are reunited, and they continue encountering hedonistic adventures in and around Rome. This film is a must for Fellini fans. However, others may find it more than a little bit bizarre as the storyline follows surviving fragments of Petronius' original book.
