#96: La Dolce Vita (1960)
from Shut Up and Watch This · host Ashley Carr & Dave Wilson
There are some who believe, and we’re among them, that the creative spark is what makes us human, but making art is frequently hard, emotionally taxing and the results often fall short of our ideal. So is it any wonder that some would-be creators might lose themselves in hedonistic pleasure seeking, rather than doing the work to find meaning? This is perhaps the central question of Dave's choice, Fellini’s LA DOLCE VITA. Rife with symbolism and references to Dante’s Inferno, the soul of our hero is at stake. What choice will he make: to make his own meaning or be lost? Subscribe on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or Android. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram and Twitter.
