For further information contact: Barbara Gilli s Phone: Volunteer Coordinator Untitled CROW'S NEST PAGE EIGHT FRIDAY EVENING FILM Federico Fellini's SATYRICON It had been a long-standing project of Fellini's to adapt Petronius' SATYRICON, a chronicle of what the author had observed at the court of Nero before he fell out of the emperor's favor, written as evidence for future blackmail. As usual, Fellini's conception Is that of a theatre piece, but here, It is of a scope far greater than any he had previously attempted. He moves from the Interior fantasy of ROMEO and JULIET OF THE SPIRITS to the external stage of history and allegory. FELLINI SATYRICON is so full of the varieties of decadence that a stunning unity emerges from their juxtaposition; It is a universe inhabited by "albino hermaphrodites, hairy dwarfs, elephantine prostitutes, lascivious matrons, beautiful nymphomaniacs and homosexual youths." The director seeks, and achieves, no less than to recreate a myth according to his own specifications, one which represents his vision of man's unending attempt to rationalize his existence In the face of the mystery of life.

"My big effort was to Ignore completely the archeological vision of Rome. I tried to propose to the Imagination of the audience a new vision of that time, because really what do we know aboutthe Romans? From a psychological point of view, what was a man really like, a man born before Christ; a man free from the sense of guilt, from the ethical and moralistic view that Christianity has given to us?

I had to admit that I didn't know anything about Romans, and In this darkness, in this obscurity, I finally found the key to the picture." --Federico Felllni

"There have been hundreds of Freudian films; FELLINI SATYRICON is probably the first- and certainly the most important- Jungian one. In the course of two hours and seven minutes, Images, totems, and archetypes rise and burst like hydrogen sulfide bubbles from the marsh of the collective unconscious. The unsynchronized sound track has the timbre of racial memory, echoing some internal dream time." -Stefan Kanfer, Time
