	Federico Fellini
		La Strada is Federico Fellini's moving masterpiece that explores the soul's eternal conflict between the heart and mind.
		The second film in Federico Fellini's trilogy of loneliness, IL Bidone is a poignant and heartbreaking portrait of an aging man's redemption from a life of crime and deception.
		Fellini visually conveys the cycle through stairs: the descent to a prostitute's flooded basement apartment, the climb to a church tower, the walk to a public fountain, the exploration of an unoccupied section of the princess dowager's estate.

	FEDERICO FELLINI
		Though Fellini's earliest films were clearly in the neorealist tradition, from the start his interest in and sympathy for characters' eccentricities and his penchant for absurdist, sometimes clownish humor, makes them distinguished.
		Fellini himself described the film as science fiction of the past; and indeed the whole film moves with the logic of a dream-fragmentary, at times incomprehensible, and ending, literally, in the middle of a sentence.
		Perhaps Fellini's most acclaimed post-Satyricon film was Amarcord (1974) an accessible work which can be seen as a summation to that point of his autobiographical impulse (the title means "I remember").

		Fellini's next films --"Juliet of the Spirits," "Satyricon," and "Roma" -- were less critically acclaimed, but in 1974 Fellini won a fourth Oscar for "Amarcord," a stirring depiction of adolescence under fascism set in his hometown of Rimini.
		Fellini was born in Rimini on the Adriatic coast of Italy, where his father was a food-products salesman.
		Fellini fell in love with the movie business and with the help of Rossellini (and later the prominent Italian director, Alberto Lattuada), gradually gained the experience he needed to become a director in his own right.

	Federico Fellini Biography \| Encyclopedia of World Biography
		Federico Fellini was born of middle-class family on the rocky Adriatic coast of Rimini.
		Fellini's brief segment in Boccaccio 70 (1962), depicting the prurient fantasies of a middle-aged bachelor, is of little interest except as an indicator of the director's future work as evidenced in 8 1/2 (1963, another Oscar winner), an expressionistic, stream-of-consciousness, autobiographical disclosure.
		Fellini's attempt to probe the psyche of his wife in Giulietta a Degli Spiriti (Juliet of the Spirits, 1965), while evocative, was far less successful, and his version of Fellini Satyricon (1969) carried his expressionistic phase into a formless, psychedelic fantasy that lacked his usual humanity and visual grace.

	CRITIQUE :: Federico Fellini: Author of Cinema
		Fellini’s explanations were always useless, anyway, as a means to understanding his cinema, because by nature he was a liar.
		Fellini’s explanation of the significance of that poetry was this: "Amarcord is a kind of consonance, a harmony, that intrigues, that seduces, like the alluring name of an aperitif.
		For the boy Federico, the Grand Hotel was a ray of light from the world beyond the railroad tracks, in contrast to the boredom of the provinces so isolated in those days.

		While, sadly, a number of Fellini’s films have fallen out of U.S. distribution (and his final film The Voice of the Moon remains unsub-titled), we are pleased to present this selection of fifteen films by the man they called il maestro, comprising some of the most compelling and original visions of the late twentieth century.
		Described by Fellini as “something between a muddled visit to a psychiatrist and an examination of a disordered conscience with Limbo as the setting,” 8 1/2 is a brilliant portrait of the creative process and a powerful meditation on the relationship between the realms of fantasy and film.
		Fellini brought Giulietta Masina and Marcello Mastroianni together here for the first time in their careers in the roles of Amelia Bonetti and Pippo Botticela, two retired Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers imitators who are reunited after thirty years for a nostalgic TV variety show.

		Covering Fellini's entire career, the book links his mature accomplishments to his first employment as a cartoonist, gagman, and sketch-artist during the Fascist era and his development as a leading neo-realist scriptwriter.
		By probing Fellini's recurring themes, Bondanella reinterprets the visual qualities of the director's body of work--and also discloses in the films a critical and intellectual vitality often hidden by Fellini's reputation as a storyteller and entertainer.
		After two chapters on Fellini's precinematic career, the book covers all the films to date in analytical chapters arranged by topic: Fellini and his growth beyond his neorealist apprenticeship, dreams and metacinema, literature and cinema, Fellini and politics, Fellini and the image of women, and La voce della luna and the cinema of poetry.

	Fellini's Films From Postwar to Postmodern
		Fellini's postmodernity was only partly a matter of theoretical and cultural ambience--and equally a matter of his own experience in relation to that larger context.
		If Fellini's brush with death in 1967 contributed to a questioning of the creative freedom of the ever-evolving individual, his repeated brush with producers and with financial constraints from the late 1960s on inevitably accelerated his questioning of the autonomy of art and the artist.
		Fellini's movement from realism to representation reflects a broader renunciation of the real that has characterized Western art for the last 150 years or so.

	Federico Fellini – Author of Cinema
		In one of Fellini’s rare interviews with a small group of journalists toward the end of his life the film author resorted to his whole bag of tricks: “For forty years I’ve been trying to explain something I can’t explain.
		Fellini’s explanations were always useless as a means to understanding his cinema—because by nature he was a liar.
		For Fellini the dreamer, the wanderer and follower of circuses, the observer of life, and caricaturist, the town of Rimini on the Adriatic Sea was the point of departure and a subtle point of reference for all his cinematographic works—for his “scribblings, images, profiles, and pornographic designs,” as he falsely modestly defined his films.

		This 1969 Fellini opus was among the most visually arresting entries in a year when the psychedelic experience was trying to claw its way into every movie coming down the pike.
		Fellini used the text as a jumping off point to attempt to imagine a world completely alien to our own (images, sound, everything).
		Fellini's interpretation of the Satyricon seems to capture that weird pulse of chaos and the "climate" of revolution; stripping away a mere "classic literature travelogue" approach - and presenting a libidinal sideshow of monsters, perverts, politicians, artists, and other variations of the human condition.

		Fellini's ability to capture the frustration of a director who cannot answer the questions asked of him by a stream of actors, journalists, and agents is what most industry professionals admire about the film.
		For Fellini fans, it is the way that the director shows Guido's total frustration with his love life, his ego, his creative ability, and his past by leading viewers on a tour of his bizarre psyche.

		In this moving and intimately revealing account of a lifetime spent in pictures, Kezich uses his friendship with Fellini as a means to step outside the frame of myth and anecdote that surrounds him—much, it turns out, of the director’s own making.
		Tullio Kezich claims to have been a long time friend of Federico Fellini and perhaps that's one of the several reasons this biography is very disappointing.

		Given the numerous volumes already been dedicated to Fellini’s cinematic genius, one wonders if there is anything new to say about the man who invented the ‘paparazzi’, put Anita Ekberg in the Trevi Fountain and a rhinocerous in a boat.
		Ultimately, Fellini emerges as the colourful ringmaster who not only lived his dreams but put them on film for the rest of the world to enjoy.
		And Federico Fellini was the unquestionably the man who showed us how sweet and ugly Roman life was (most notably in 'La Dolce Vita' and '81/2').

	Stubbs, Federico Fellini as Auteur
		The study explores Fellini’s narrative form and visual presentation, includes materials from his dream notebooks and dream-related film scenes, and examines the fictionalized autobiography, contending that the filmmaker created an “autobiographical legend” of himself and then filmed the legend.
		He conversely addresses that which is tragic, suggesting that in adapting the work of others Fellini was drawn to writers who dealt with decadence and madness.
		This examination of the critical elements in Fellini films offers a notable contribution to a better understanding of the artistry that is uniquely Fellini.

		Director Federico Fellini, a maestro of neorealism in the 1960s, is regarded as a sentimental, overblown and self-indulgent filmmaker snared by his own intellectual and aesthetic pretensions.
		Fellini was certainly an "auteur," as the term is classically defined, but he was also a showman, aware that a significant part of his sensibility was rooted in the cheap entertainment of his childhood." [ArtAbstracts]
		Federico Fellini was born in Rimini, Italy, and started his career as a cartoonist and caricaturist in 1939 in Rome, Italy.
