    It's been a long time since I watched a movie that made me feel so uncomfortable. I really don't understand Fellini, and I don't want to pretend to understand it. After spending more than three hours deconstructing and teasing the obscenity and nihilism of the upper class, I just want to sigh: Director, how boring you are, the Palme d'Or is really mixed... ps: The narrative rhythm and plot line are really terrible~
