The Films of Federico Fellini (Cambridge Film Classics) 1st Edition

3.8 3.8 out of 5 stars 5 ratings

This study examines the career of one of Italy's most renowned filmmakers through close analysis of five masterpieces that span his career: La Strada, La Dolce Vita, 8 1/2, Amarcord and Interview. Providing an overview of Fellini's early career as a cartoonist and scriptwriter for Neorealist directors such as Roberto Rosselini, it traces the development of his unique and personal cinematic vision as it transcends Italian Neorealism. Rejecting an overtly ideological approach to Fellini's cinema, Bondanella emphasizes the director's interest in fantasy, the irrational, and individualism.

    This is one of the best books on Fellini out there. And it's no surprise because it's written by Peter Bondanella. We used it for my graduate school course and it proved to be an invaluable resource. Highly recommend!!!

    The eBook doesn't work with Windows 8. I wish I didn't buy it. Too bad. The book was supposed to be good.
