Film Review December 25, 2009
Description: Quick. Put down that Victoria's Secret catalog. More women in corsets are on display in this musical than on any lingerie catwalk in your dreams. 
by Marjorie Baumgarten
"...Each woman performs one song except for Cotillard, who gets two, and each is a signature piece that defines, one-dimensionally, the character’s role in the movie. In addition to Cotillard’s wife, there are Dench’s longtime costume designer and Contini confidante, Cruz’s sexpot mistress (singing while performing a bump and grind), Kidman’s movie goddess modeled on Anita Ekberg, Hudson’s Vogue reporter (performing one of the new tunes written for the movie), Fergie’s beach-dwelling whore (who introduces little Italian boys to the mysteries of sex), and sainted Mamma Loren..."
La Dolce Rota
Music Blog June 22, 2007
by Raoul Hernandez
Description: The Ultimate Best of Federico Fellini & Nino Rota
"...Indeed, said Nino? I don’t know, I don’t remember. And he… kept caressing the keys, seemingly at random, here and there… smiling at me, looking as if he wanted to reassure me.”
Spinning The Ultimate Best of Federico Fellini & Nino Rota, that caress leaves you purring like Anita Ekberg’s kitten in La Dolce Vita.
Opening on the trumpet fanfare of Lo Sceicco Bianco, Rota quickly drops in Fellini’s favorite goose – circus music! A sweep here, a can-can chorus there, and the piano of the innocents at the finale: Rota’s rolling, right into the familiar stroll of the I Vitelloni theme..."

Screens Review December 31, 2004
by Kimberley Jones
Description: Decadence, perhaps inevitably, dates itself: Fellini's
much-censored 'La Dolce Vita' no longer shocks in its
depiction of upper-class excess and listless living the
way it did upon release in 1960, but it's a gorgeous
artifact, nonetheless
"...That's indicative of the overall remainder-bin feel of the DVD's extras. There's a stiff-backed intro from Alexander Payne, who somehow manages to keep a straight face while reading off cue-card bon mots like "the empty lives of moneyed people of our modern world, adrift without moral reference point in a sea of dissatisfaction and alienation." Worse yet are the second disc's offerings: recycled interviews (with poor sound quality) with an aged Mastroianni and his co-star Anita Ekberg (still the bombshell, her larger-than-life proportions now bizarrely swathed in a bath towel); unilluminating bits on the restoration; and an incongruous collection of "never-before-seen!" deleted scenes from Fellini's 1986 film Ginger and Fred..."
Dr. T & the Women
Film Review October 13, 2000
by Marjorie Baumgarten
Description: The mere presence of a new Robert Altman film in the theatres will be enough to draw in the regular connoisseurs of maverick film art. The idea of Richard Gere... 
by Marjorie Baumgarten
"...That there resides a problem beneath the perfect exterior of Dr. T's life becomes obvious to all when his wife strips naked to romp in an indoor shopping mall fountain, supposedly reverting to childhood but looking more like Anita Ekberg famously splashing in the Trevi Fountain..."
The Red Dwarf
Film Review August 27, 1999
by Steve Davis
Description: The Red Dwarf pretends to lofty themes -- something about life's cruelty, lust's fickleness, love's redemption -- but it's just a freak show at its twisted heart. Why else would...
