Fellini Satyricon is a surreal and visually stunning adaptation of Petronius's ancient Roman work. The film presents a series of loosely connected episodes set in imperial Rome, exploring decadence, hedonism, and the human condition through the eyes of two young men, Encolpius and Ascyltus. As they navigate bizarre and often grotesque scenarios, Fellini offers a critique of contemporary society, using the ancient world as a mirror for modern excess and moral ambiguity.
