E la nave va

E la nave va" is one of the best films made by Fellini, which I see as the best film director ever. Just two personal comments about it. First, I have seen it in 1985, when in Romania a dark dictatorship saved hard currency by preventing foreign films to be imported. It was presented during a festival arranged by the Italian Embassy. Combine the local cultural desert and the post-modern style of this film and you'll understand why, after the film ended, I wanted to have just a walk-on part on it. My wife just proposed to pay the projectionist to run it again. The second comment is about a strange premonition Fellini had about the conflict in Serbia/Yougoslavia. Each time I see "E la nave va", I'm deeply moved about the ending, masterly contrasting bold opera music and the vanishing of a certain Europe.
第一次世界大战爆发前夕，一群欧洲的贵族和艺术家为了护送刚逝世知名歌剧女伶的骨灰回到她出生的小岛，展开了一次航行。不料在途中遇到大战爆发，船上涌进一批难民，在封闭的空间中形成了鲜明的阶级对比。费里尼化身为弗莱迪．琼斯饰演的热心记者，为观众介绍船上形形色色的人生百态，其中犹有些锐利的人性观察，暴露了艺术家伪善的面孔。
