Federico Fellini

About this book

This is the first detailed appraisal of Federico Fellinis universe. Collected here in addition to a biography and filmography is a wealth of previously unpublished material allowing a detailed and often personal view of the master of cinema. Published for the first time in these pages are the texts for four films Fellini never made complete with sketches and notes; and the directors correspondence with other filmmakers artists and famous writers. Fellinis descriptions of his dreams accompanied by splendid drawings allow a glimpse of the subconscious world that contributed so much to the creation of his films. His comic strips of unmade films provide an intriguing account of his activity in the last years of his life. The filmography is illustrated with posters sketches and stills from all of Fellinis masterpieces - including his best-loved La Strada 8 1/2 The Clowns La Dolce Vita Roma Amarcord and La Voce Della Luna.
