...spend some more money on elaborate sets. Out of nowhere (with no transition from the previous scene except a black screen to signal "shift"), we see Encolpius sliding down a dirt pile and into an arena to fight a man in a minotaur costume. At this point. the film begins to resemble Juliet of the Spirits, but only because the situation itself is so implausible that we look for psychological reality, finding no other. An exhausted Encolpius fights his minotaur through a maze, finally falling down pleading for his life with a line that Fellini must still giggle over: "Please...

They hid me in the litter bearers' tent until he left." Kuhl, who proved to have malaria, adds...
...Thing, Dino has become a dancer and Reds a drummer-both hope for show-business careers. They are also working on a film about hustling in the streets. "I want everything to be real," says Dino, "so that people can see what's really going down. When I look at TV, ain't nothing in there I've seen before. Like in all the pictures with black people, they got to be some white guy who's his best friend. It ain't always that way. And that show Julia-she's just...
