Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Fellini Satyricon, sometimes simply called Satyricon, is a 1969 film from Italy directed by Federico Fellini.It is a "free adaptation" of Roman novel The Satyricon. The setting is The Roman Empire, in a vague time frame that seems to be sometime around or after the reign of Nero. A young man named Encolpius has lost his lover, a teenaged boy slave named Giton, to his roommate, Ascyltus. Encolpius, looking for Giton, finds that he has been sold to an actor named Vernacchio. Encolpius reclaims Giton from Vernacchio, only for Giton to choose Ascyltus as his lover and go away with him. Their tenement building is promptly wrecked in an earthquake. Encolpius then meets a poet, Eumolpus, who invites him to a party......and many more weird and surrealistic things happen as the protagonist wanders through a bizarre version of Ancient Rome that plays out like Spartacus on hallucinogens.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })

Driven to Suicide: A rich married couple set their slaves free, then kill themselves, because whoever the new emperor is, he's not good for them. This has nothing to do with anything other than the fact that Encolpius and Ascyltus wander into the abandoned villa and have sex with one slave girl who lingered behind.

Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Giton the boy toy slave, who is so important to the opening scenes of the movie, is eventually forgotten about and never mentioned again as Encolpius and Ascyltus go on other adventures.

Attending Your Own Funeral: Trimalchio the egomaniac stages his own funeral, going so far as to lay down in a grave while his slaves pretend to wail with grief.

Aside Glance: Many background characters glance at the camera as it moves through Fellini's bizarre scenes.
