Fellini Satyricon

Frank Zappa about Fellini Satyricon
"I went to see a couple of Fellini movies and I was so horribly disappointed I couldn't stand it. I saw 'Juliet of the Spirits' and I didn't like it and I went to see 'Satyricon' and I enjoyed it, except that I thought the production was crappy. The editing was real bad, you could see the fucking glue on the splices going by, bad cuts you know. I saw a couple of Bergman movies about six years ago, I thought they were boring. I have no motivation to go and take in those sort of things ... cultural experiences." - Frank Zappa, interviewed by Ian Pollock, Time Out, 17-23 December 1971. [1]
