SatyriconSatyricon (Fellini Satyricon) is a 1969 film by Federico Fellini. It is loosely based on the Petronius Arbiter's novel "Satyricon," a series of bawdy and satirical episodes set in imperial Rome. Instead of trying to connect and patch up the surviving fragments of this ancient text, Fellini decided to present the material in dislocated scenes. Though the two protagonists Encolpius (Martin Potter) and Ascyltus (Hiram Keller) reappear throughout, the characters around them and locations change unexpectedly. This very intentional technique of fragmentation conveys Fellini's view of history. Fellini's interest in Carl Jung's theory of the collective unconscious is also on display with an ambundance of archetypes in highly dreamlike settings. The year before there had already been a Satyricon film; hence the addition of Fellini to the title. There also is a making-of shot by Gideo Bachman, called "Ciao Federico - Fellini directs Satyricon". |
