Two for the Road -- The ten-year marriage of Mark and Joanna Wallace is on the rocks. In flashback they recall their first meeting, memorable moments in their courtship and early wedded life, their travels through Europe, their broken vow never to have children, and their increasing tensions that led to both of them having extra-marital affairs.

La Dolce Vita -- 'One of the most influential and popular works by Federico Fellini, LA DOLCE VITA follows the 'sweet life' of a tabloid journalist (Marcello Mastroianni) who covers the glitzy show business life in Rome.

Marcello (Marcello Mastroianni) is a journalist in Rome during the 1950s who covers tabloid news of movie stars, religious visions and the self-indulgent aristocracy. The story depicts Marcello's life, the ease, indecision and frequency with which he gets distracted by women. It has the following distinct episodes. If the evenings of each episode were joined with the morning of the respective preceding episode together as a day, they would form seven consecutive days, which may not necessarily be the case.

On their third identical voyage from London to the Riviera, Joanna Wallace (Audrey Hepburn) and husband Mark (Albert Finney) explore their 12-year marriage in a series of wry and illuminating flashbacks. They reminisce about the glorious beginning of their love affair, the early years of marriage and the events that led to their subsequent infidelities. As they try to understand their relationship, they must accept how they have changed if they are to rekindle their original love. The film's lush score, one of Henry Mancini's finest, received a Golden Globe nomination. Audrey Hepburn also received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress. The film is arguably one of the most stylistically influential movies from the '60s.

'One of the most influential and popular works by Federico Fellini, LA DOLCE VITA follows the "sweet life" of a tabloid journalist (Marcello Mastroianni) who covers the glitzy show business life in Rome.

In Federico Fellini's seminal film LA DOLCE VITA, a three-hour masterpiece that shows one man's descent into 'the sweet life' of debauchery, Marcello Mastroianni stars as eccentric journalist Marcello Rubini. On assignment to chronicle the lives of the rich and famous Italian aristocracy in a gossip column for a Roman newspaper, Marcello floats from one fabulous party to the next, meeting all varieties of beautiful, extravagant people. While he would never protest this seemingly ideal job, it makes him feel lonely and empty, and he stays up drinking and dancing night after night only to wake up each morning unbalanced and unfocused. The film follows Marcello's ups and downs in an episodic pattern in which each evening is a new story, a new adventure, a new dare, a new woman with whom to fall helplessly in love--but only for that night. Each morning the slate is wiped clean, and Fellini resets Marcello's score to zero. Sprinkled with religious images and gestures at salvation, LA DOLCE VITA is supreme in the beauty of its all-encompassing symbolism that is expressed through lavish sets, an alluring script, overemphasized physical movements, roller-coaster jazz music, and helpless emotions.
