- TV & Film
Jules: Many films depict deals with the Devil at the time the deal is done. Fewer - like Fellini's contribution to this anthology - depict the Devil arriving to collect. But does Fellini's contribution satisfy?
David: Fellini, usually so generous, has rarely been so impenetrable. Is Toby Dammit’s flight to Rome hijacked and diverted to Hell? Or is he really in Rome and finds the experience sufficiently overpowering that he literally loses his head? What is the nature of his tryst with the Devil? Do we watch him getting more than he bargained for, or is this all a payment? And was the prize stardom? A Ferrari? Or just release?
