Martin Potter, Hiram Keller, Max Born, Alain Cuny, Capucine, Salvo Randone - Dir:Federico Fellini Encolpius is a Roman student who begins by arguing with his friend Ascyltus over the affections of androgynous youth Giton. Ascyltus wins, whereupon Encolpius embarks upon an odyssey, partaking in a drunken orgy and being kidnapped by a bisexual sea captain and his concubine. Encolpius eventually rejoins Ascyltus to visit a suicidal Roman couple, join in a plot to kidnap a "sacred" hermaphrodite, and much more. Loosely based on the book "Satyricon" by Gaius Petronius, the "Arbiter of Elegance" in the court of Nero, Federico Fellini wrote and directed this tongue-in-che

In SATYRICON, Italian New Wave director Federico Fellini depicts the hedonistic, amoral, pre-Christian world of ancient Rome. Using the unfinished classical writings of Petronius as his guide, Fellini invents a dreamlike culture full of strange, distant characters and odd, grotesque events. Though the film lacks a definitive plot or narrative structure, its constants are Gitone (Max Born) and Encolpius (Martin Potter), whose unsavory encounters with sex, the theater, and religion are the film's focal point. Presenting a loosely structured episodic tale of decadence and depravity in ancient Rome, SATYRICON follows the adventures of two students as they negotiate their way through a variety of mishaps, dangers, and sexual encounters. What results is a bizarre journey through ancient Rome. This story is a perfect example of Fellini's accomplished skill in bringing fantasy to the screen.

Federico Fellini was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Director for FELLINI SATYRICON.

Fellini Satyricon Reviews:

"...A series of grotesque, haunting and humorous tableaux, the film...is also an unmatched feat of costume and set design--a fever dream of ancient Rome..." -- A. O. Scott, New York Times

"...It is so much more ambitious and audacious than most of what we see today that simply as a reckless gesture, it shames these timid times..." -- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

"...Brilliantly designed..."-- Geoffrey Macnab, Sight and Sound

This is the only Max Born video. Stars also making their debut in this video: Fanfulla, Il Moro, Joseph Wheeler.

The set design for this extravagant and lucious film is the stuff for students of cinimatography to study today. Every scene is a masterpiece.

The plot has Lupin and Jigen traveling to the sleepy little country ...
