ROME — It’s “La Dolce Vita” all over again as Federico Fellini’s classic, starring Marcello Mastroianni and Anita Ekberg, below, is being restored with the help of Martin Scorsese’s foundation for the preservation of film treasures.
Scorsese said “La Dolce Vita” broke narrative rules and moved cinema forward. At a news conference Saturday in Rome, he spoke of the movie’s impact. The American filmmaker said, “We have an obligation to our children to at least let them know this is here.” “La Dolce Vita” came out in 1960, and the Rome Film Festival is marking the movie’s 50th anniversary with a world premiere Saturday of the restored version.
