City of Women
Federico Fellini's epic 1980 fantasia introduced the start of the Maestro's delirious late period. A surrealist tour-de-force filmed on soundstages and locations alike, and overflowing with the same sensory (and sensual) invention heretofore found only in the classic movie-musicals (and Fellini's own oeuvre), City of Women (La città delle donne) taps into the era's restless youth culture, coalescing into nothing less than Fellini's post-punk opus.
