And the Ship Sails On - Criterion Collection
In Fellini's quirky, imaginative fable, a motley crew of European aristocrats (and a lovesick rhinoceros!) board a luxurious ocean liner on the eve of World War I to scatter the ashes of a beloved diva. Fabricated entirely in Rome's famed Cinecittà studios, And the Ship Sails On (E la nave va) reaches spectacular new visual heights with its stylized re-creation of a decadent bygone era. Criterion is proud to present this rarely-seen gem in an exclusive widescreen transfer with new English subtitles. more

Another underrated Fellini film...
This is really a charming, sweet, intelligent chapter in the Fellini saga. Made in 1983, when great film artists like Fellini were having difficulty getting projects financed, it stands as another underrated gem from Federico. Many critics have said that Fellini never made a good film after...

A charmer.
I love the poetic, dreamlike quality of this film, and the absolute sweetness of the whole concept. Doesn't always make linear sense, but it always makes emotional sense, and I suspect that was what Fellini intended. And Freddie Jones is simply perfect as Orlando, a gently clownish figure who is...

A brilliant film
You will sit stunned watching this movie. It's an effortless masterpiece by a genius, a legend. It's also playful and funny as hell. Definitely worth acquiring.

Baroque modernity (for mature audiences only)
If Walter Benjamin were a filmmaker, he would have been the late Federico Fellini. I can see how or why younger audiences wouldn't enjoy this film, just as I can understand how unabashedly smitten I am with it. Here, Fellini does away with the gimmicks, the psychologism, and the will to...

not the greatest one, but great as everyone else
ok, i can admit that fellini makes great cinema using visual means but, can you say it`s not deep enough? every film by him (at least after la dolce vita) comes with a lot of content and social satire. Taking some examples: la dolce vita critizies italian high classes, ginger e fred does the same...

A "Ship" In Search Of A Story
During the first 10 minutes of Federico Fellini's "And the Ship Sails On" the viewer goes through the hisory of cinema. First we see a b&w image, but no sound. Slowly the soundtrack makes its way through with background noises. Now we have a picture with sound, then dialogue is added, and then...

A surreal visual feast
Fellini's films, especially his latter day color films, are surreal visual experiences. If you're one who absolutely needs plot, linear structure, or character studies in your movies then chances are you'll probably hate just about every Fellini film you see and long for another Nights of Cabiria...
