If any film can said to be the sequel to Fellini's La Dolce Vita, this is it.  Sumptuously filmed in B & W in a style that at times deliberately echoes Fellini, this film captures the ennui that lies at the center of striving after success and the concomitant materialistic cravings that such a lifestyle engenders and so deepened the reflective mood of reprioritization that characterized the 1960s.  A penetrating and beautiful masterpiece, this film took the 1965 Oscar® for Original Screenplay (by Frederic Raphael) and Christie took Best Actress -- rare wins for a British production.  Yet, like the next film on our list, it is a film for today as well.
