Ahead of the launch of the 13th edition of Cinema Made in Italy by Cinecittà and Ciné Lumière last week, I went to The Italian Cultural Institute in London to watch La Dolce Vita, the famous 1960 Italian film directed by Federico Fellini and masterfully restored in 2011 by Cineteca di Bologna.
The film follows the life of Marcello Rubini, a journalist who is seeking happiness and success in Rome, but finds himself lost in a world of decadence and excess. The restored version of the film is a masterpiece of cinema, and its enduring popularity speaks to the timeless themes it explores.
