La Dolce Vita
Directed in 1959 by Federico Fellini, "La Dolce Vita" tells the story of a journalist, played by Marcello Mastroianni, who spends a week in Rome in a futile quest for love and happiness.
"There's no story, no plot, and yet the movie is three hours long. He (Fellini) never told a straight story again," said Scorsese.
"I like Marcello Mastroianni's character the best, for his downward trajectory and the look on his face at the end of the movie," he said.
Scorsese himself has entered cinema history with his harsh, uncompromising look at the dark side of US life in films such as "Taxi Driver" and "Goodfellas".
