Juliet of the Spirits frolics through light and dark moments, gallops head-on through memories and present-day visions that may be dreams or just reality gone as askew as possible. And all the while, as many a critic has noted, Gianni Di Venazo's cinematography is a spot-on enchanter. It's got so much to look at, it almost threatens to trump the symbolism and other eye-catching things- chiefly Giulietta Masina herself- throughout the production. And it's got tinges of other Fellini films in its ...
While the most spectacular is Fellini's incredible and banal finale to this tryptich, all three of these short films are outstanding in their own way, and not a single one of them would be worth much at all without the others. In the first, directed by Vadim, one sees a spoiled brat princess (who knew that Jane Fonda was so beautiful??) who occupies her time bullying her pretty court around, until her cousin (who she scorns as lowborn until he frees her from a trap he has set) is the first to re...
Satyricon is a screen adaptation of Petronius's novella about life in the time of Nero. We are introduced into a bizarre and highly bisexual world of parvenus, war mongers, hedonists, pimps and catamites. Fellini offers a narrative of 25 distinct episodes, only loosely connected by the presence of the young and adventurous student Encolpio, who desperately longs for love and happiness, but who is constantly startled by the occurrence of events. The storyline is a bit too erratic for my taste but...
This little film tends to stand quietly in the shadows of the great director's other works. It cannot compare to 8 1/2, or La Dolce Vita, but it carries a remarkable quality to it that isn't quite like his other films.
Fellini's circus theme is used here to a remarkable effect. There is a sadness that creeps in and around the film, like a cat watching a canary. It is unlike his other works, not as daring or bold, but worth some consideration
Everything is revolving around Rome in this movie, its beauty, its decadence, its history, its inhabitants, seen with the eyes of our magnificent Maestro: Fellini. The scene of the war-period theatre is one of the funniest of the whole history of cinema and no subtitle can render it in a proper way, you should live in Rome for years to fully appreciate the dialogues. It's worth seeing for the countless characteristic "faces" that Fellini was used to employ for his movies, giving that special tas...
Amarcord/ / Federico Fellini
Amarcord" was the first Fellini film I saw, about two years ago. It was on TV at 4 o'clock a.m. and I was very sleepy, but I watched it till the end. I wasn't disappointed at all, and I do want to watch it again.
It's not hard to say why this is considered one of Federico Fellini's masterpieces. "Amarcord" (which means "I remember" in the Italian dialect of Emilia-Romagna, the region in which Fellini was born and where the film is set) is one of the most dazzling, personal films you'll ever see...
Federico Fellini's Casanova is quite an extraordinary film.I watched it just yesterday,late at night,and I felt charmed.Yes,it looks weird and you hardly understand what it's exactly about,but that's not the point.This film appears to be something like a dream.It's like a string of images which you cannot link using your reason.The atmosphere is magical.You can sense the corruption,the craziness in all those wild parties,the desire for pleasures that hides inside the socially repressed people of...
While the movie analyzes the roots and resolution of social revolt, what I like the most about it, is the personalized world-view of the musicians, as well as an exceptional music drive. My favorite Fellini and Rota
极简单的故事，讲述意大利电视台录制一个管弦乐队某晚的彩排。现场乌七八糟、混乱不堪，各乐器手，乐手与指挥之间都充满不和谐的对抗。愉悦的合作、和谐本是交响乐团的基础，否则再优美的乐曲也只能演绎得一塌糊涂。影片主要由对话组成，导演借由乐器手们“只见树木不见森林”的夸夸其谈和大家对乐队指挥专...
A number of fascinating sequences and a few interesting ideas keep this film afloat when the other element do not work out. The film makes it quite clear within the first hour that what we are witnessing is a dream, and the sets, costumes and hues all reflect a dreamlike state very well. But, we know little of our protagonist before he falls asleep, nor do we see much that he has done, and therefore it becomes all rather meaningless - just a collection of thoughts, rather than anything relating ...
E la nave va" is one of the best films made by Fellini, which I see as the best film director ever. Just two personal comments about it. First, I have seen it in 1985, when in Romania a dark dictatorship saved hard currency by preventing foreign films to be imported. It was presented during a festival arranged by the Italian Embassy. Combine the local cultural desert and the post-modern style of this film and you'll understand why, after the film ended, I wanted to have just a walk-on part on it...

昨天在家看费里尼的intervista,一部介绍描写1987年意大利电影厂乱糟糟的生活的疑似纪
录片。当然不是纯粹的纪录片，毕竟是费里尼，给搞得又煽情又后现代。正看到兴头上（棚
里在拍一个印度风味华丽的电影，很多大象、跳肚皮舞的舞女，还有超美艳的女主角），最后拍电影的一帮人，被手持电视天线的印第安人给灭了，然后大家就都回家了。
然后过了若干年，这电影配乐被she用了，在中国的大街小巷传唱。可惜这音乐还是配美艳
的肚皮舞比较合适。
幻想喜剧《月亮之声》是费里尼的遗作，影片根据卡瓦左尼的小说《怪人们的月亮》改编。
It is a pity that Fellini's last film is not better known as it represents something of a return to form after a series of disappointments. .Fellini's visual imagination is still intact but some of the wonderful precision of imagery is no longer present. Perhaps by the end of his career too many of his old collaborators had died or retired. The best part is the first half hour seen entirely from the perspective of t...

Querelle/ / Rainer Werner Fassbinder
ｓｅｌｅｃｔed in competition at the 1982 Venice Film Festival. In that edition, the Golden Lion for best film went to 'Wim Wender''s Der Stand der Dinge (1982) much to the disgust of Marcel Carné, who withdrew from President of the Jury after releasing the following statement, that can still be seen printed at the beginning of the copies of Querelle circulating in Italy: " I would love to make a personal statement. While being President of the Jury, I would love to express my disappointment in ...
