In this dream-sequence film, renowned Italian director Federico Fellini expounds at length on the nature, complexities, attitudes, and hang-ups of women and how this all relates to men "hunting" sexual conquests. Snaporaz (Marcello Mastroianni) is traveling in a compartment on a train when he lapses into sleep and dreams the ensuing story. He follows a woman off the train and through a field and then loses her. Soon, as a representative of the male sex in general he finds himself in a hotel, among myriad women attending a feminist conference. Surreal episodes take him through a villa with his alter-ego Dr. Katzone (Ettore Manni, who died during filming) and references to his sexual exploits. Reunited with his former wife for a moment, he starts another sequence which reviews his past.Synopsis by Eleanor Mannikka, Allmovie.com
By 1980, the brilliant Italian director Federico Fellini was in a bit of a slump. Although Casanova and Orchestra Rehearsal were good, they were not on the level of such triumphs as 8 1/2, La Strada or Amarcord. The ambitious City of Women deserves points for effort and for the breadth of imagination involved, but it ultimately is a major disappointment, a muddled, overlong and occasionally puerile meditation on women and men's (or at least on one man's) conflicting feelings about women. One of Fellini's more surreal films, the fact that the entire picture is presented as one long dream does not excuse its lack of cohesion and credibility, nor its sometimes simplistic look at relationships. It is missing the artistic magic that takes such personal material and imbues it with a larger meaning, with the result that it comes across as extremely self-indulgent and ultimately uninteresting. This is despite some truly remarkable visual moments that give the film a Wonderland-like quality. Marcello Mastroianni is good, although he is ultimately defeated by the script. Fellini would be in better, though still far from top, form in his next film, And the Ship Sails On.Review by Craig Butler, Allmovie.com
