I guess you have to be Roger Ebert to be able to write the following:
“‘La Dolce Vita’ has become a touchstone in my life: A film about a kind of life I dreamed of living, then a film about the life I was living, then about my escape from that life. Now, half a century after its release, it is about the arc of my life, and its closing scene is an eerie reflection of my wordlessness and difficulty in communicating.”
