It pains me when films that really take their time with action, movement, dialogue, plot etc, = boredom in the minds of so many. Kubrik explored the vast emptiness of space, and of Man's so-called achievements, and imho, every second of 2001 is masterfully paced.
I cannot say much more about La Dolce Vita than has been said by, er, @#$%^& (or something like that) above. It is somewhat plotless....we are simply witness to a man's empty life over 7 days and nights. It never fails to engage me. I think the ending is the most powerful of any film I ever saw. That girl looks right at us at the very last second....we the audience....as if to ask how our lives are, are we just gonna walk out of the cinema now like Marcello walked away? Hopeless and empty? (This thread tells me that some did, hahaha...ok that's a bit harsh.)
