Ginger and Fred (1986) Reviews

Finally another redeemable film by Fellini although still pale in light of La Strada and other venues. It at least has a consistent plot about a former dance team that imitated the style of Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers 40 years prior to the time frame of the story. They reunite w/in the context of a bizare television show, Fellini's focus of critique this round. Giuletta Masino still shows her magic even at mid almost late age, one still sees her sparkle. Interesting to note Felinni's recurrent obsession with the circus as is most often plugged into every one of his films I've seen thus far. But at least the plot remains intact if not a bit droll, instead of spinning into nothingness as some of his other renowned works.
