# Satyricon (1969)

1969 · 129 min · Drama, Fantasy, Comedy · France, Italy

Original title: Fellini Satyricon

## Synopsis

Fellini Satyricon, or simply Satyricon, is a 1969 Italian film written and directed by Federico Fellini and loosely based on Petronius's work Satyricon, written during the reign of Emperor Nero and set in Imperial Rome. The film "uses the pre-Christian Roman world of debauchery during the time of Nero as an analogue of the modern post-Christian period." The film is divided into nine episodes, following Encolpius and his friend Ascyltus as they try to win the heart of a young boy named Gitón within a surreal and dreamlike Roman landscape.
