The Voice of the Moon (1989)
Director: Federico Fellini
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
A noisome, sprawling slab of pretentious nonsense, charting the odyssey of a dreamy simpleton-cum-poet (Benigni) through an Emilian landscape populated by the usual Fellini collection of grotesque eccentrics, and clearly intended to evoke the various ills of the modern world. Profoundly reactionary, almost without narrative structure, and embarrassingly self-indulgent, it is virtually unwatchable.Author: GA
