I am not a fan of foreign cinema or of Italian cinema in particular, but I found 'Satiricon' very watchable. If you know the background of this movie ( a few surviving fragments of a *very* long work written *quite* a while ago) and can appreciate Fellini's amaizing settings, costumes and colors, you have to admire this beutifully done movie!
