La Dolce Vita (Italian pronunciation: [la ˈdoltʃe ˈviːta]; Italian for "the sweet life" or "the good life") is a 1960 comedy-drama film written and directed by the critically acclaimed director Federico Fellini. The film is a story of a passive journalist's week in Rome, and his search for both happiness and love that will never come. Generally cited as the film that marks the transition between Fellini's earlier neo-realist films and his later art films, it is widely considered as one of the great achievements in world cinema, and had won the Palme d'Or (Golden Palm) at the 1960 Cannes Film Festival.
Based on the most common interpretation of the storyline, the film can be divided into a prologue, seven major episodes interrupted by an intermezzo, and an epilogue. If the evenings of each episode were joined with the morning of the respective preceding episode together as a day, they would form seven consecutive days, which may not necessarily be the case.
1st Day Sequence: A helicopter transports a statue of Christ over an ancient Roman aqueduct outside Rome while a second, Marcello's news helicopter, follows it into the city. The news helicopter is momentarily sidetracked by a group of bikini-clad women sunbathing on the rooftop of a high-rise apartment building. Hovering above, Marcello uses gestures to elicit phone numbers from them but fails in his attempt then shrugs and continues on following the statue into Saint Peter's Square.
Jag sitter ensam när showen är slut
då kommer känslan tillbaks.
Går ut i natten där himlen är blå
som den kan va After Dark.
Jag vill ha fartfyllda heta nätter,
spänning och magi.
Jag är här
Jag är nu
Jag är friiii..
[Chorus]
För jag vill leva la Dolce vita (ooh)
ja, jag vill leva la Dolce vita (ooh)
Jag vill bada i Champagne min vän,
på resan genom gryningen. (ooh)
För jag vill leva la Dolce vita (ooh)
ja, jag vill leva la Dolce Vita (ooh)
Ge mig glitter och glamour,
här där verkligheten bor,
Dolce vita mou'amour.
Det känns som om livet har mera att ge
än bara ansvar och krav.
Jag tänkte vi kunde dansa och le
ända tills natten blir dag.
Och leva livet i stadens glimmer,
tänja varje gräns.
Jag är här,
jag är nu,
ja det känns...
[Chorus]
Leva la dolce vita
Leva la dolce vita
Dolce vita mon amour
