Fellini Lexicon (Paperback)

Federico Fellini (1920-1993) was one of the most inventive filmmakers and to this day one of the best loved. Director of many celebrated films--among them "La Strada "(1954), "The Nights of Cabiria "(1957), "La Dolce Vita "(1960), "Otto e Mezzo "(1963), and "Amarcord "(1973)--he created melancholy, magical worlds peopled by clowns, dreamers, conmen, trumpeters, and werewolves. This book explores the forms and substances, significances and insignificances, and objects and shadows in Fellini's work--the dance and music of his characters, the color, light, and movement in his images. "Fellini Lexicon "accompanies Fellini's films, rather than seeking to possess them, taking pleasure in their incongruities, exaggerations, absur-dities, and surprises. The entries are reversible, overlapping, often unlikely, combining careful analysis of the films with a celebration of their richness. "Fellini Lexicon "is a delightfully original approach to Fellini's work and to the practice of film criticism.
