City of Women
(La città delle donne)

Screening on Film

Directed by Federico Fellini.
With Marcello Mastroianni, Anna Prucnal, Bernice Stegers.
Italy, 1980, 35mm, color, 139 min.
Italian with English subtitles.

Snaporaz, a middle-aged businessman, takes a train through an unmistakably metaphoric tunnel and finds himself in a world completely dominated by women. Widely misinterpreted upon its release as Fellini’s statement on women and the feminist movement, it is rather a film about men’s ideas about women: their fears, fantasies, and projections. Marcello Mastroianni stars as the bruised, baffled, and bedazzled man who stumbles into a feminist convention, setting off a series of wild, surrealistic fantasies evoked with Fellini’s visual and emotional mastery.
