Autour du film
Souvenir de Fellini : « Le film a été présenté en avant-première à l'American Square Garden, aussitôt après un concert de rock. Il y avait quelque dix mille jeunes gens. On respirait le haschich dans la fumée de la salle.[…] La projection ne fut qu'enthousiasme.
À chaque plan, les gosses applaudissaient ; nombre d'entre eux dormaient, d'autres faisaient l'amour. Dans ce chaos total, le film se déroulait implacablement sur un écran gigantesque qui semblait refléter l'image de ce qui avait lieu dans la salle même. Satyricon semblait avoir trouvé son site naturel, de manière imprévisible et mystérieuse, dans ce milieu des plus improbables.
Il semblait bien n'être plus à moi, dans la révélation soudaine d'une entente aussi secrète, de liens aussi subtils et jamais interrompus, entre l'antique Rome de la mémoire et ce public fantastique de l'avenir. »

Fellinis take on classical myths and culture
Author: Atavisten
3 April 2005
*
Permeated with hedonism and sexuality, highly theatrical, very bizarre and surrealist while still keeping it on the ground and making it more potent and little coherence storywise; its fragments of Petronius classic (which I haven't read) wrapped in Fellinis incredible imagination.
Scenography, casting and settings are here of the absolutely highest order. Each frame is composed with the utmost care it seems, perhaps inspired by the same artworks found in the movie. Like the old Greeks this movie is made as true art in a non decadent manner contrasted with the decadent Rome we meet in the movie.
There are so much depth to this movie its no use trying to cover them here, but one key theme is, I think, what was described as the flower of youth and the withering of it, that is Encolpio's youth.Highly recommended if you like a movie out of the ordinary, the images you see here will never be forgotten.

On doit la beauté picturale du Satyricon à Giuseppe Rotunno
dont Ava Gardner disait :
« Le plus grand cameraman que je connaisse. »
