I like Fellini very much, the person who is full of lies and occasionally tells the truth, and the person who
always prevaricates with flamboyant passion when he does not answer questions directly.
The guy who likes the Joker more than anything, and who married a female Chaplin himself...
likes his black and white films more than his color ones.
Check out his "Women's Country", it's a nightmare!

Last year, I watched "The Swinger".
Probably Fellini's first two or three works. very mature.
For some reason, the lives of those young people in small Italian towns, the loneliness and liveliness, the
mischievous and sad lives, are as impressive as carnivals.
I still remember the waves on the coast, it seems to be the winter sea,
my hometown, the winter sea is also so peaceful.
The wind blew up the scarf of one of them, and rolled up the hair of the other...
Five swingers in their thirties in overcoats doing nothing.
Like a child, his face is full of paint, twisting, flirting with women, shameless and innocent,
being chased and beaten by his father like a child, and crying like a child without his sister.

When I woke up early this morning, before I opened my eyes,
the scenes of this movie suddenly appeared in my mind, very clear.
Is it Rimini?
Such folk customs, burning scarecrows (symbolizing witches), grand carnivals,
and the end of the grand party, fireworks and paper all over the floor, lonely musicians blowing monotonous voices, sluts who
haven't woken up and don't want to wake up, Wearing heavy makeup and
dancing together.
That kind of bleak.

For some unknown reason, when I woke up this morning, all I could think of was "The Swinger".

  • Fausto Moretti: [reunited with Sandra, after his father has whipped him for his infidelities] You scared me so, Sandra. Never do that again, you hear?

    Sandra Rubini: And if you make me mad again, I'll beat you like your father. But even harder. I'll beat you senseless.

    Fausto Moretti: [starts to laugh] That's how I like you. Here, let me hold the baby
