Federico Fellini is often considered a disengaged filmmaker,
interested in self-referential dreams and grotesquerie rather than
contemporary politics. This book challenges that myth by examining
the filmmaker's reception in Italy, and by exploring his films in
the context of significant political debates. By conceiving
Fellini's cinema as an individual expression of the nation's
"mythical biography," the director's most celebrated themes and
images - a nostalgia for childhood, unattainable female figures,
fantasy, the circus, carnival - become symbols of Italy's traumatic
modernity and perpetual adolescence.
