"This is my favorite Fellini movie. It’s so fun and sweet and bold and effortlessly weird. You feel this young filmmaker surprising himself. It also captures the claustrophobic yet epic feeling of growing up in a small town and hanging out with your childhood friends all the time. And the whole carnival sequence is so great . . . especially the aftermath, when Alberto Sordi is wandering around the town square at dawn dragging an oversize clown head."

Aww, what a sweet little tale.

I liked both characters from the beginning; the way they bounced insults back and forth and loved it, not taking anything personally. The attraction was there for both of them but they fought against it and in the end she became his way out of the tabloid-attack he was currently under.

I liked the relationship build-up: antagonism to sex to proper relationship.

I just really liked it.
