Was it just the hedonistic jet-setters that reminded you of Fellini and
Antonioni or something more specific?
Has it seemed to you that the show has been spinning its wheels lately?
Always interesting of course, but not really going anywhere?
Tonight's episode was an improvement, I think.

Obviously that, but I thought to decision to stick them under the California
sun was also another give-away. Eurotrash in Manhattan would have been one
thing--dragging the story to the most Italianate setting to be found in the
US seemed purposeful.

I thought it screamed Antonioni (into a big-ass bullhorn . . . and
then some), but I never thought of Fellini.
