Satyricon, also named The Degenerates, is an Italian film from 1969 directed by Gian Luigi Polidoro. It was a pre-emptive attempt to cash in on the expected success of Fellini Satyricon. Just 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.

Synopsis

Encolpius and Ascyltus are two corrupt boys raging for the mean streets of Rome at the time of the empire of Nero. Both boys engaged in constant conflict for the love of the young Gitone, which often allows himself to Ascyltus, infuriating lover Encolpius. For a misunderstanding, the three boys end up in the house of a rich freedman: the crude Trimalchio, who in his rich dinner amazes guests with exuberant courses.
