Fellini's Roma - Catholic Church Fashion Show

[robasci00]

@janecz Catholics are the only people what?? Fellini was Italian and it DOES NOT mean catholic, and this is satire OF Church, not "making fun"

[marcocoiatelli]

INESQUECIVEL !!!!

[chubbtm5]

Funny in the beginning, then it gets creepy.



[jontlew]

LOVE THIS! What a hoot! The images and fashions are so over the top and beautiful and funny. Thanks for posting! Just go finished watching ROMA and this was the best sequence of many great scenes.

[doctorbeaumonte]

Makes me realize how much the Skesis were modeled on catholic pomp.

[hipnerotomachia]

Cloro al clero!

[pillowprince]

Amazing!

[TessticalsLOVE]

im a 15 year old aspiring actress and god do i wish i was around when films were being made like this, its got so much more depth and character to the models, who have no dialoge or expressions !

[FrineGr]

Faltan los confesionarios del retiro XDDD

[RSleepy]

Haha brilliant - thanks for posting this.

[atrejutipokmop]

Excelente sátira, muy buena. Prestan mucha prioridad a las apariencias superficiales poniendo en la cola a las que Jesús practicaba, como la humildad, entre muchas otras, verdad?

[BelytaRuiva]

Fascinating... This must have cost a fortune... I didn't realize that when I saw this film in my teenage years... Do you know if Fellini borrow the vestments from the Vatican itself? :) This is cinema at its best. Thanks for posting.

[fbaraglia]

@BelytaRuiva what vestiments are you talking about? The public? He designed all the costumes himself. His drawings are actually quite famous, they're beautiful

[BelytaRuiva]

Fascinating...

[Francofiction]

Amen Fashion!

[carlo331]

Grandioso!. Fellini un autentico genio...

[jrkuwaye]

When are we seeing this in Milan???

[jrkuwaye]

GA FW 20013!!!

[diptdipt]

In all this game, the devil is the victim, is the scapegoat, will be acused of everything cause the GOD don’t want any rivals*. Conclusion: live at the full in the freedom of GOD (praying in a right form,following the INSTRUCTIONS in the Bible - keeping the 10 commandments - including keeping the Saturday as the 7th day etc.) instead of in the incapacity and limited power of devil cause he is just a temporary puppet.

[harry1923]

strange but it held my interest.

[zagogiulliano1]

I'm beautiful in my way

'Cause God makes no mistakes

I'm on the right track baby

I was born this way.....Ops...

[alejandro1963able]

Muchos; sobre todo en los países anglosajones ricos y laicos; sólo ven; y no es poco; el exquisito humor de Fellini. Pero en la America latina; como en la Europa latina; la Iglesia Catolica estará siempre en nuestras pesadillas

[agpmyt]

@alejandro1963able ¿te violaron?

[Jarestorninho]

Genial!

[frensarmiento]

Bah, those who praise Lady Gaga's wit and "weirdness" have obviously never seen this.

The last part of this video actually reminded me of Lady Gaga's new "born this way"

...Lady Gaga is nothing.

[skutratufahija]

@frensarmiento

for those who like fellini, jodorowsky, paradjanov or bunuel, all this new pop art fags are nothing special.

[MrSKINFLICK]

@frensarmiento: Everybody steals ideas in art & pop business now and then, so don´t bash Gaga too much......!

[atrejutipokmop]

Grande parodia del stravaganze del cattolicesimo, mi dà una bella risata. jijiji

[biiicyclerace]

This movie is so incredible. Fellini was genius, every movie of his is mind-blowing!

[tonygumbrell22]

Ahh...if the Maestro would only come back......come back to us Maestro Fellini......come back....

[Stijn9019]

muahaha "au paradis toujours plus vite" * enter two men skating and holding hands

nothing against nature?

i love this movie ><

[Stijn9019]

muahaha "au paradis toujours plus vite" * enter two gay men skating

i love this movie

[seethevolcane]

Fantastic ! Ooh, Federico....

[salsa10cubana]

Great! Wonderful film! Nice music!

[lsdavilah1983]

when my brain freeze...its always Fellini&Rota to reebot it...

[Milettus]

E il copyright???

[tonygumbrell22]

Ahhh....Delicious! The Ecclesiatical Fashion Show

This calls for a Creme de Menthe So refreshing.

[adrianandshane]

amazing. so ahead of it's time.

[prierias]

Isn't that Cardinal Burke - well known to be really into this kind of gear?

[cabagool]

Incredibly powerful scene! Che uomo geniale era Fellini!!

[fangorabbc]

the emblamed pope!! ...the cries of "he's come back!"... i would have lost all hope long ago without genus like Felini

[RussianFestival]

Just amazing.

[reginacaeli123]

Paradoxpat, it's like you read my mind! Brilliantly said! It's a tragedy that so many people in the church have used the document of Vatican II to try to turn the Catholic Church into a sorry imitation of Protestantism.

[janecz]

Fellini was a GENIUS. You know, catholics are the only people that make fun of their own religion. For me this is very healthy. And no one would be better than an italian for that!

Fellini era um GÊNIO. Sabe, católicos são as únicas pessoas que ironizam sua própria religião. Para mim isto é muito saudável. E ninguém melhor do que um italiano para isso!

[chubbtm5]

@janecz it is not true that only Catholics make fun of their own religion. There are plenty of Episcopalian jokes, Lutheran jokes, Baptist jokes, etc.

[MrSKINFLICK]

@janecz:

I wonder if the Vatican liked this....LMAO !

[tonylocator]

So disappointed with the visit of the man in the white dress. This is more like it.

[amras18]

OMG! AMERICAN NEXT TOP MODEL!!! CATHOLIC VERSION!!!

[arturohernandez20]

5:35

¿Santa Rosa de Lima?

[augustoramirez]

Fellini = GOD

[VolkgartenBySquirrel]

The very black wit of Fellini's films, while obvious at first viewing, demand the reading of the source material for the full tragedy sticking to the other shoe to drop. This film pulls no punches in stripping the spectacle from the spectre, and focusing a burning glass at the desire for religeon. The other sword of the roman empire still rattles.

[jewgienij100]

The best

[gregorykatrina]

To put it another way ..the Catholic Church has become a confederation of organised playgroups, for adults.

[TheRASPUZIO]

FELLINI!!!!!!! DONDE ESTAS?..........

[karaaghijlar]

Over the top! I have this posted everywhere. Really great!

[MissDothleen]

Fellini - gem of a gem, genius of a genius!

[jonefjonefjonef]

ojbi

[The1949rafael]

the luxurious fashion of the church catòlic

[arsoys]

There's high fashion -- alta moda -- but this is all-highest fashion. Gloria in excelsis modae.

[orangeviolins]

I have to say...as one into surrealism (and also baptized at birth into Catholicism) this really takes the "host". Exceptional Parody and an Unparalleled Classic. Thank you for posting this Ecclesiastical Mischief from Fellini. True Bliss... As always rendered, inherent suffering makes one laugh all that much harder. (Now where did I put my flagellation device..oh yea..that's right...it's there next to the cell phone...)

[tattisalles1989]

Fellini was unique.

What I more like in Fellini's movies is the circus air they have.

[warwithangels]

BESTFASHIONSHOW.........EVER!!­!! LOL!! (skirtsTewGodDamnLong..tho!)

[thayaht]

Fellini is a genius and has done many beautiful drawings, in a catalog along with those of Nobel Prize Dario Fo.

[karaaghijlar]

What a great Gothic film. Christians will love this! You'll be post at my house.

[erinra]

The ending is just... wow...

[enemyofbohemia]

The lighting and the vastness of the room remind me of a dream-like feel.

[paolusstefan]

que mamilas¡¡¡¡ obvio que la iglesia nunca ha hecho esa clase de cosas liberalistas y estupidistas jajaja. the church never do that stupid things¡¡¡

[bersa888]

@paolusstefan : You'd be surprised... :-)

[HellboundAlleee]

@paolusstefan, the church is much richer than this, and its accessories much grander. Will you please pray to them and ask that they sell everything and give it to the poor and sick?

[alfaspica]

@HellboundAlleee Part. 1

Jesus Christ when he sent his apostles told him to preach

the Gospel to the ends of the earth. So providing a time

very long.

Well, how do you think the Church could not last without economic power?

Without money the church would be at the mercy of the

monarchs of all time

[1339girlisback]

@alfaspica God's word tells us not to worry about

what to wear or eat. He will provide for us. We are

to turn from worldliness. The Lord is our protection,

not wealth. =l

[alfaspica]

@HellboundAlleee Part. 2

The independence and autonomy and therefore the economic and political power are essential to the realization of God's plan "God has given me all power in heaven and on earth" (MT 28:18).

If the church were poor all the powerful men of the world, all the folks would do what they want and evil reign.

Bye

[xtrashed]

@HellboundAlleee

But that will be temporary, and then they will be poor again. Not the solution.

[mssauerm]

yikes

[mssauerm]

wow

[atrejutipokmop]

Un desfile muy sarcástico. Muy bueno..

[ArkanTheClean]

Will never forget waking up under a bridge in Rome with a serious hangover after some cheap rocket-brandy-fuel to find myself (with mcr george) in the middle of the film set for the film..... amazing. Found it hard to separate rome and its characters from the film. Later physically ejected from the vatican for exposing an elbow ........... I'm doomed and dammed.

[tregualemu]

Don't let's ask for Fellini and the movies. We have Berlusconi for real.

[gropsch]

Sublime!

[Vegasastron]

What would mankind do without Fellini and Rota.. !! This is one of the highlight scenes.. !!

[VJCZAJA]

wax musee VAMPYRICa

[undamaris2006]

CAPOLAVORO!

[vinnieagogo]

This sequence make my Catholic Schoolgirl outfit fetish seem so insignificant and lame.....

[54RossB]

Memorable scene, and credits to Nino Rota as well.

[Katzone]

I was born with Fellini Cinema ...and I can t think of any other director who still give me shivers when i watch his movies...Fellini sei il piu grande...

[USABOYMAN]

O Fellini! Where are you? Where is your soul? We need you here... Come back!

[thedeal81]

that's almost scary!!!!

[DSAK55]

Fellini is a unique genius.

[robystereo]

che dice quando presenta i preti con i pattini? au paradise toujours plus......? al paradiso tutti più vivi?

[jbgren]

dice 'au paradis toujours plus vite' che vuole dire sempre più velocemente al paradiso (più o meno)

[ShqipjaMaleve]

au paradis toujours plus vie (in paradiso sempre piu vita)

[nacalosc]

Géniale et gigantesque. Quelle vision ! Ces masques immobiles, morts séchés ou figés en gras (non en grâce) dans un cadre de style : HOLLYWOOD - HALLOWEEN. SI LE DIEU EXISTE, IL DOIT BIEN RIGOLLER ;-) Si le Dieu, soit comme lavait désigné léglise à cette époque, Fellini et Rota doivent maintenant griller dans lenfer. Seul Jean-Paul II avait des traits humains (presque contemporain).

[nacalosc]

Genialne! Gigantyczne! Te maski nieruchome , martwe w oprawie cos miedzy HOLLYWOOD HALLOWEEN. Jesli jest Bog , musial sie niezle nasmiac widzac "slugi swoje"w tej karykaturze. Jesliby byl Bogiem jak wedlug nauk kosciola tych czasow, Fellini i Rota smazyli by sie teraz w piekle. Jan Pawel to papierz jeden z nielicznych o ludzkim obliczu. Prawie w czasie epoki. Prawie...

[internezzo]

the only thing i'd change is to choose a more cadaverous, emaciated and tortured/arrogant looking actor to portray "Pius XII". think vulture.

[mssauerm]

one of the best scenes (music = 10\10)

and movies ive ever seen

[StudioResurrezione1]

God Bless Fellini!!!!

CliveXX

[anglicansag]

This is SUBLIME !!!

I don't know wether to laugh uncontrollably or masturbate furiously !!!! Perhaps I should do both !!! These costumes are better than the most explicit porn.

No one had the touch of Federico...

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

[CHMATOSOVIDEOS01]

My dear Piero,

I have to second your comment.

I was supposed to cry but I was laughing all the time. Great Fellini.

[mymindourdream]

What a disgusting sort of hypocritical pedophiles...

[LSW75]

thanx 4 upload this.great ...

[urbankheki]

It is much more Bunuel than Fellini.

[rickbmtl]

Just to follow my last comment, I ran out of space. Nothing satanic here, only not very subtle humour but end is disturbing in a strange way.

Months ago somebody commented that the pope at the end is Pius XII and that the whole thing is a kind of spoof on the very conservative Roman nobility that did not really like the fact that their priviledges with the Vatican were removed by Vatican 2 This scene as much about Roman patricians as about the Church. I think that this must be restated.

[Katzone]

Fellini never bothered to make any statement in any of his movies...he wld only laughs if someone takes his movies seriously...Grande Fellini

[rickbmtl]

Fellini Roma is NOT a documentary, it is an personal film about how Fellini "felt" his city trough his life. Many scenes reflect his childhood and young adult life (around WW 2) and today. i.e. around 1973.

This scene is of the past a contemporary scene like the one in the metro.

Fellini was attacked many times by the Catholic church end 50 early 60's but later it was pointless so here Fellini intentionally tried to shock the Church to bring publicity for his film. And it worked.!

[foititis]

How did they sneak out that footage from the 2nd Vat. council?

[janotosinnumeros]

CSM Qué buena escena, la cagó. La mejor escena de la historia.

[cantavoidtrite]

This is simply brilliant to watch. They don't make them like Fellini any more.

[victorianlulu]

I'm truly speechless...Lulu

[kd1s]

That's what it is. Fellini's films reminds me very much of paintings done by Titian. I had the privilege to see the exhibit at the Boston MFA. The richness of color, it's awesome.

[janotosinnumeros]

Well, Fellini was very fond of art and art history, and I've read it was even more influential than cinema itself.

[conceil8]

.

Remember Christians, the will of God is no Catholic, Protestant,Orthodox, Penticostal, Adventist, JW, Etc. NO DIVISION, Only Christians, holy, helping and sharing instead of buying and selling.

"That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me." (John 17:9-21)

anyone know where i can download this

[cantavoidtrite]

Did you find a place to dl this?

[legionarioXIX]

it's a pretty important movie. most public libraries have it.

[AnaisAmaru]

My God! :D

That was superb! Fellini's genious! Never seen so much irony and sarcasm in a film ever! Ha-ha!

[televisionforghosts]

absolute awesome

[Oskarito95]

spot on...luv it

[ann320581]

what's this? can someone please explain?

[I4gotmyMANTRA]

no, i dont think so. lol

[mrsgarrettrocks]

It is a scene from Fellini's "Roma." The film takes us through many of the impressions he had of his childhood in Rome. I take this scene as an exaggerated childhood remembering of the Catholic culture in Rome. In many ways must have seemed like a fashion show all over the street. The Church to a child: all powerful/maudlin. Also pokes fun at the Italian conservatives absolutelove and devotion to Pope Pius XII.

[noizenconfusion]

lol

[LordBrunnST]

you 're a very big ignorant!! Don't you know Fellini, Kubrick and Hichcock are the best film directors of all times?

[LordBrunnST]

the answer is for ann320581 not 4 you

[noizenconfusion]

Please do not compare B grade talents like Kubrick and Hitchcock to masters like Fellini.

[MelWK]

Hmmm... The way I see it? Fellini, Hitchcock, Kubrick: a different Holy Trinity LOL

[Kartoqraf]

Catholic church my ass.

[jwaqua]

Fellinin is presenting a work of ART, he is trying to get the viewer to EMOTE - he wants you to hate it, love it, embrace it, reject it, or have fascination with it - clearly this is not exactly a representation of the Roman Catholic Church, it could even be showing what the RCC is not....that is the point, it is what YOU take from it, what you decide it is - he isn't criticizing really and he is definitely not praising the RCC - it is subjective ART.

[I4gotmyMANTRA]

exactley.

[LordBrunnST]

totally agree

[WillShade]

An astounding scene - a true Fellini spectacle.

[littlepebble2]

Now, there are three active Pope.

Pope John Paul II - mysticaly slept in April 2005, just like Lazarus -, present Pope Benedict XVI, and "the Little Pebble" i.e. Pope Little Peter Abraham II.

[dancingwithnacos]

Best fashion show ever!!

[squirrelbong]

there is no god, if there was how do you explain rain?

[Paradoxpat]

Sometimes I wonder if the folksy, painfully plain ecclesiastical styles of the post-Vatican II Church are not some vague, embarassed attempt to respond to Fellini's ingenious fantasy. As for me, I would rather have a Church with color, music, and "smells and bells" that, despite its human, sometimes silly countenance, tries to reflect the incomprehensible psychedelia of the Divine, rather than one with Idaho potato bag vestments and sanctuaries that look like high-school gymnasia.

[subjectandobject]

that is the best youtube comment i have ever read, easily.

[bequimona]

so, so true.

[RedFlower26]

@Paradoxpat

There is such a thing! It's called The Orthodox Church! It was one of the reasons I converted to Orthodoxy from RCC! :D

[LegacyKillah]

@Paradoxpat : Roma was shot in 1972 and Vatican II closed in 1965. Being chronologically obsessed, it makes it hard for me to follow your reasoning. Meanwhile, if you want such a Church, you might as attend a mass from the Society of Saint Pius X or travel to Eastern or Southern Europe lol, so you can see the continuation of a time when the genius of human kind was primarily dedicated to testify of the greatness of a supposedly almighty (through music, architecture... fashion, etc.).

[tyjeffries]

@Paradoxpat but in all these fabulous get ups they would attract more attention when they are abusing the innocent little boys in their trust. Perhaps this is why they have gone under cover. The 'gymnasium look' surely projects a 'healthier' less introverted or flamboyant image. Would the psychedelia of the divine include, rather than preclude, gay love between consenting adults I wonder? Or do they fear that being seen to approve of it OUTSIDE the church would mean condoning it inside?

[vanhavihamiehesi]

@Paradoxpat When it comes to "churches with color, music, and "smells and bells"" It's hard to compete with hindu temples.

[copitomiao]

forse il papa si ispira a questo film per i suoi paramenti

[michaelNOLA2007]

cruel satire, i LOVE it.

[backslash68]

Well, at least this proves that there was freedom of expression in Italy in the seventies.

[samewish]

i think this fashion show too terrible.....no humanity....the clothes too heavy no good for walking and working.....

i also don't like the people too follow their religious.....

The Truth...

[TQMusic]

Long Live Fellini. Oh....if ya wanna check out a REAL Catholic than read some Thomas Merton.

He was a Monk and had plenty of HUMBLE Soul Assure You. PEACE)))))))

[primoabruzzi]

The world wide Catholic Church is a dichotomy.

Rich, white, rightwing ,fascists... who just know that the church is a grand and glorious social club..

These "big boys" have an eternal right to play dirty in God's name.

Catholics who believe in God.. The "big boys" have a God given right to be better than them.

And to be "more worthy" and "more capable"

[legionarioXIX]

Even though I am not a catholic, I disagree. I have met plenty of kind and highly intelligent Catholics who comprehend and stand against what some of the "big" boy Catholics stand for. We can't judge a group of people just based on a few..otherwise, America is in deep deep trouble.

[DHS11999]

Ever heard of Liberation Theology? Wow....you need to look up the definition of a sweeping generalization.

[aziareject]

im catholic and im not rich and white, rather im Filipino/asian and lower middle class in America. To contradict ur statement their.

[berniepowers]

There are way more asian/ african and hispanic catholics then europeans

[darchimede]

semplicemente geniale

[b9s2t]

Hai ragione, giampiero, questo obrobrio è il puro ritratto della chiesa cattolica al giorno d'oggi...d'altronde un cervello come il tuo può permettersi di trovare certi accorgimenti...Pisk

[sabbatoe]

grazie giampiero per la segnalazione. ho inserito questo video tra i miei preferiti :-)

salvo

[EvodiusTheophile]

which "inquisition" do you mean?

[CRCRCOAL]

Vi siete mai accorti che manca il MODELLO n°5?

Ricordo che quando il film uscì per la prima volta al cinema, si vedeva anche il MODELLO n°5.

Era il modello di una suora che aveva un grande cappello di paglia sulla testa, con una retina che circondava il capo, il tessuto bianco.

La suora, molto grassa, aveva in mano un bastone con retina che serviva per acchiappare le farfalle.

Ricordo che il commento diceva pressapoco così : VESTITO PER SUORA MISSIONARIA ...

E' stato censurato !

[permea]

ma dici sul serio?

[CRCRCOAL]

Si certo, verità assoluta.

Per avere la conferma riguarda il video: il commentatore spiega i primi 4 modelli; dopo il quarto modello, che è quello dei due preti coi pattini, non si vede il quinto, ma si passa subito al sesto che è quello dei due preti in bicicletta MODELLO NUMERO 6 PER I PARROCI DI CAMPAGNA.

[Tidicappahacca]

Il film è stato ampiamente rimontato dopo la prima uscita.

Mancano anche le brevi scene con Mastroianni e Sordi.

[roccosoave]

A part from the surrealist scenography I may say that it is pretty hard to understand the nuances of this and other scenes if you did not experience Rome and the Vatican. You cannot separate this scene from the movie, that's about Rome and the Vatican which is part of it. No offense for who believe in the catholic church but you develop a very cynical point of you when you live the exuberance and display of power of the Vatican everyday.

In conclusion, bravo Maestro, a great touch as usual

[lent77cv]

[histatimaniples]

for people who know nothing about history if it was not for the roman catholic church no one would be christain

once most of the western world was catholic it is very hard to change over 2000 years of customs

so talk your luteran trash and then thanks us for converting you pegans

there are a few bad apples in every group

but the tree has rotten

this video is nothing more then a comedy fellini was a very proud catholic

[ProphetofDisdain]

I love the imagery, but, it's ridiculous. Everyone wants to hop on the anti-organized religion bandwagon and mock our faith and the rituals that accompany it. Enough of this iconoclasticism, enough of the bigoted skepticism, enough of the hate towards our faith. We are a humble, pilgrim people who are searching for our God. In the name of our Holy Savior, allow us to search and worship in peace!

[Sesshomaru26000]

lol the same peace you gave the pagans the native peoples of the world? what comes around goes around

[ProphetofDisdain]

What kind of idiocy is this? We convert people out of love.

You know nothing about Fellini, you know nothing about his beliefs, you know nothing about this clip...please stay away and please do not blurt out stuff when you have no fuckin clue what this clip is about. He made this clip for people who are EXACTLY like you...who do not understand or SEE what is wrong...He was NEVER anti organized religion or religion. He was against people who are fake...and phony...
