"At the beginning of World War I, a decadent inmate group of famous opera stars, conductors and princes gathers on an Italian luxury liner and sets off for the burial at sea of their immortal diva. Too late, they notice the impending collision with the course of world history in the form of an Austro-Hungarian warship."
Film Museum Potsdam
"Theatrically stylized and operatically exaggerated, as the story demands, Fellini's production never leaves any doubt that everything the viewer sees here is just scenery. The sea is made of foil, the horizon only projected. But the result turns out to be even more beautiful than the real sky or the actual sea."
