Fellini Satyricon
Fellini Satyricon is a 1969 Italian film by Federico Fellini, a loose adaptation of the ancient Roman narrative poem Satyricon by Petronius. The picture became a cult movie among many youngsters thanks to its trippy atmosphere and hedonistic themes. The soundtrack was composed by Nino Rota.
Segments of Tod Dockstader's album Eight Electronic Pieces (1960) were used on the soundtrack of 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]
