Pippo 'Fred' Botticella (Marcello Mastroianni) and Amelia 'Ginger' Bonetti (Giulietta Masina) are reuniting to perform their old music hall act for a TV variety show. There is a cast of unusual characters.
This is late stage Federico Fellini. The legendary Italian filmmaker brings along a couple of his old icons. It's all about nostalgia. It's meta. It's a fond remembrance of a cinematic past. There are midgets and boobs and everything in between. It may not be peak performing Fellini, but it is still a worthwhile watch. It does run on a bit at over two hours. Like many older gentlemen, their stories tend to meander.
