Master filmmaker Federico Fellini’s imaginative fable about a motley crew of European aristocrats (and a lovesick rhinoceros!) aboard a luxurious ocean liner on the eve of World War I reaches spectacular new visual heights with its stylized re-creation of a decadent bygone era

In Frederico Fellini’s quirky, imaginative fable, a motley crew of European aristocrats (and a lovesick rhinoceros!) board a luxurious ocean liner on the eve of World War I to scatter the ashes of a beloved diva (Janet Suzman). Fabricated entirely in Rome’s famed Cinecittà studios, And the Ship Sails On (E la nave va) reaches spectacular new visual heights with its stylized re-creation of a decadent bygone era. (Italy/France, 1984, 128 min., PG, Italian/German/Serbian/Russian with English subtitles, 35mm | Dir. Frederico Fellini)
