Satyricon

I got a movie out this evening by an Italian director named ‘Fellini’ set in ancient Rome. It is hard to explain exactly what the plot is about. I can tell you that it involves two beautiful young men competing for the same lover (who is also a pretty young boy). I can also tell you that it is both confusing/hilarious/erotic and above all else – visually gratifying. I am a sucker for the costumes/makeup/styling and sexy greased up young men in skimpy togas that this movie so blatantly gloats. Here, have some screen shots!
