Overview
Time for themes he explored in La strada (1954), Fellini crafts that a parable on the whisperings of this spirit that just madmen and vagabonds are designed for hearing. The strange couple, Ivo Salvini (Benigni), a bogus inspector of wells, along with Gonnella (Villaggio), an former prefect, roam throughout the Emilia-Romagna countryside of Fellini's childhood and discover a dystopia of television commercials, fascism, beauty pageants, rock music, and Catholicism, along with pagan ritual.
