Feminist movie?

Is it so? Not in my opinion because women are shown as crazy, silly and foolish. The libertine womanizer Snaporaz (Marcello Mastroiani) runs after a woman who was travelling in front of him in a train when the train stops in the middle of a field and the woman goes out there. Then he loses the sight of her and begins searching her in the field. He then arrives to a hotel full of women because there is a feminist convention taking place there. From then on the movie is turning from a realist shape into a fanciful and oneiric one not very understandable till the end when it is shown that he was dreaming everything and wakes up in the train sitting in the same compartment with the woman that had charme d him and two others who were also in his dream. The story is weak and the movíe is saved only by a lot of very imaginative and fanciful images and scenes.
