How do you spell Oscar Relief? Why... Fellini's "Orchestra Rehersal"

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

After a night of eating shit and pretending you enjoyed it, what could be nicer than a really good movie?
I can't quite explain it, but the Oscar night, even only having watched small bits of it, put me in a rather stressed mood. I felt agitated, irritated, taken, had, bamboozled and run over by a steamroller with no violin. I suppose I would feel similarly humiliated if I had to watch a gang rape unable to do anything about it...
But I have a wise wife, and she's got her hand on the Netflix control knob, and yesterday there was yet another red envelope in our mailbox, and inside was another Fellini...
"Prova d'orchestra" is the type of a film that would give Fellini's detractors plenty of ammunition... they would say it is pointless and dumb, with no plot and no acting...
It is also the type of a film that is quintessential Fellini, as it is deep and emotional on many levels, has that incredible flow, the whirlpool of characters, scenes, episodes, moods, and... music.
But once again I am at the point where my language is not up to the task, the object being far greater than most of us can feel with our hands or see with our eyes, so there... take this for what you want.
To say it was a welcome relief after being submerged in a tank of feces for a night would be a gross understatement.
