Overview

Satyricon, also named The Degenerates, is an Italian film from 1969 directed by Gian Luigi Polidoro. Like the more famous version made by Federico Fellini it is loosely based on Petronius's work, Satyricon, a series of bawdy and satirical episodes written during the reign of the emperor Nero and set in imperial Rome. Plot Encolpius and Ascyltus are two corrupt boys roaming the mean streets of Rome at the time of the empire of Nero. Both boys constantly engage in conflict with each other for the love of the young Gitone, who often prefers Ascyltus, infuriating lover Encolpius. Due to a misunderstanding, the three end up in the house of a rich freedman: the crude Trimalchio, who in his rich dinner amazes guests with exuberant courses. Escaping from the house of the crude man, Ascyltus and Encolpius continue to fight for Gitone until Encolpius makes friends with the poet Eumolpus, while Ascyltus dies of diseases. Gitone is now only in the company of Encolpius, who cannot satisfy Gitone's amorous pleasures because of a curse hurled at him by the god Priapus, the protector of the cocks. After inheriting a rich mansion by chance by a senator named Pomponius, Encolpius, Eumolpus and Gitone go in a city where their troubles do not end because of the magic spells of a witch, soothsayer of the god Priapus. Cast Don Backy: Encolpio Franco Fabrizi: Ascilto Francesco Pau: Gitone Mario Carotenuto: Eumolpo Tina Aumont: Circe Valérie Lagrange: Trifena Amerigo Tot: Lica (Trifena's husband) Graziella Granata: Antonia Piero Gerlini: Abinna (Antonia's husband) Corrado Olmi: Seleuco Clara Colosimo: Seleuco's Wife Paola Tedesco: Criside Ugo Tognazzi: Trimalchione

Notable quotes

“Et ideo ego adulescentulos existimo in scholis stultissimos fieri, quia nihil ex his, quae in usu habemus.”
— This is the reason, in my opinion, why young men grow up such blockheads in the schools, because they neither see nor hear one single thing connected with the usual circumstances of everyday life.
“Nondum umbraticus doctor ingenia deleverat.”
— No cloistered professor had as yet darkened men’s intellects.
“Nuper ventosa istaec et enormis loquacitas Athenas ex Asia commigravit animosque iuvenum ad magna surgentes veluti pestilenti quodam sidere adflavit, semelque corrupta regula eloquentia stetit et obmutuit.”
— This windy, extravagant deluge of words invaded Athens from Asia, and like a malignant star, blasting the minds of young men aiming at lofty ideals, instantly broke up all rules of art and struck eloquence dumb.
“Canis ingens, catena vinctus, in pariete erat pictus superque quadrata littera scriptum 'Cave canem. '”
— A huge dog, tied by a chain, was painted on the wall and over it was written in capital letters 'Beware of the dog.'
“Nam Sibyllam quidem Cumis ego ipse oculis meis vidi in ampulla pendere, et cum illi pueri dicerent: Σίβυλλα τί θέλεις; respondebat illa: ἀποθανεῖν θέλω.”
— For with my own eyes at Cumae I saw the Sibyl hanging in a bottle, and when the boys said to her: 'What do you want, Sibyl?' she replied: 'I want to die'.
“Necesse est cum insanientibus furere, nisi solus relinqueris.”
— With the mad it is necessary to be mad, unless you would be left all alone.
