Federico Fellini’s CITY OF WOMEN Screens Friday Through Tuesday at Webster University

Federico Fellini’s CITY OF WOMEN (La Città Delle Donne – 1980) screens this Friday through Tuesday (May 27^th– 31st) at Webster University’s Moore Auditorium (470 E. Lockwood, Webster Groves, MO 63119). The film begins each evening at 8:00. 

“A house without a woman”, they say in my parts, “is like the Sea without a Siren”

CITY OF WOMEN, Federico Fellini’s epic 1980 fantasia, surrealist tour-de-force, tells the tale of Snàporaz a businessman played by Marcello Mastroianni, who hops off a train and finds himself trapped at a hotel and threatened by women en masse. The later work from the great Italian director is a real feast for the legion of Fellini fans. It has everything: the dream-like Felliniesque atmosphere, the nostalgic soundtrack by Louis Bacalov (Fellini’s regular composer after Nino Rota died in 1979), a scathing satire on the feminism and male chauvinism, and on society at large. The great director is a little more bitter than ever with CITY OF WOMEN, a little more sarcastic and nostalgic, but as art, it’s considered one of the best films he has ever made. The Art of Federico Fellini is timeless, even today, so don’t miss your chance to see one his masterpieces on the big screen when it plays at Webster University’s Winifred Moore Auditorium.
