Federico Fellini
6 titles · european arthouse
Autobiography inflated into carnival. Fellini moved from neorealism into procession, circus and dream, filming memory as parade and letting spectacle replace plot entirely.
Signature
- Processions, carnivals and grotesque faces as recurring motif.
- Dream and memory intercut with no marker between them.
- Nino Rota's scores giving scenes a circus rhythm.
- The director's own life reworked as fantasia.
