Selected by Allison Katz and presented in collaboration with Aspen Film.

In conjunction with In the House of the Trembling Eye, and as a conclusive event of ArtWeek, Aspen Art Museum hosts an evening screening of Federico Fellini’s 1969 film, Satyricon. Loosely based on Petronius’ fragmented literary satire of the same title, written during the reign of Nero, Satyricon follows the grotesque adventures of two young men—Encolpius and Ascyltus—as they move through a surreal Roman landscape of decadence and excess. Satyricon eliminates the borderline between dream and imagination, pursuing qualities of mystery, enigma, immorality, and contradiction.
