Federico Fellini’s 1969 film is a surreal, episodic journey through a decadent and fragmented ancient Rome. Loosely based on the surviving fragments of Petronius’s 1st-century novel, the film is often described by the director as "science fiction of the past," intended to feel as if we are observing an alien civilization rather than a historical reality. Key Features of the 720p Blu-ray Release

: Sourced from 4K restorations, these versions showcase the vivid, garish color palettes and intricate production design by Danilo Donati.

: The film famously uses non-synchronous sound and a mix of Italian, Latin, and Neapolitan dialogue. This was an intentional choice by Fellini to heighten the film's dreamlike, disjointed atmosphere.
