Marcello's beat is Rome's international jet-set, an exotic world indelibly brought to life by Fellini's iconic images and composer Niño Rota's classic score. In pursuit of the next big scandal, Marcello is continually seduced and repulsed by the hedonistic lifestyle of the rich, amoral and bored to whom nothing is sacred. Marcello's unforgettable encounters with an American sexpot, his wealthy lover, his suicidal girlfriend, his cultured mentor, and his estranged father lay bare the emptiness behind the glitz of "the sweet life."
