Over the course of his illustrious forty-year career, the Italian
filmmaker Federico Fellini (1920-1993) created a cinematic universe
that continues to enthrall film aficionados and influence other
directors. From the bellowing strongman in "La Strada" (1954) to
the anguished society reporter in "La Dolce Vita" (1960) and the
tyrannical whip-wielding director in "81/2" (1963), the inhabitants
of this universe have risen to the level of archetype. Their
creator, though, looms even larger in the cinematic imagination.
This lushly illustrated volume harnesses the power of images to
evoke the physical and imaginative worlds that "he" inhabited.
"Fellini" traces the director's sources, themes, and obsessions
through movie stills, drawings, posters, photos, and other archival
material. Many of the images show him on set, working behind the
camera or collaborating with actors, costume designers, and others.
One group of previously unpublished behind-the-scenes photos offers
a new perspective on the fantasy world of Cinecitta, the studio
where Fellini made many of his films. Another notable set of images
presents the director's "Book of Dreams," in which he recorded his
dreams in words and drawings.
Illuminating Fellini's unique take on twentieth-century culture
and mass media, these striking documents combine to reveal the
essential power of his work. Twenty years after Fellini's death,
"Fellini" adds a new dimension to our understanding of a visual and
thematic universe that had a profound impact on the development of
film as an art form--and on the imaginations of so many viewers.
