Federico Fellini

Director

Federico Fellini (1920–1993) was an Italian film director and screenwriter, widely regarded as one of cinema's greatest auteurs, known for his dreamlike imagery and satirical portraits of Italian life.

Frequent collaborators included composer Nino Rota and actors Marcello Mastroianni and Giulietta Masina. Recurring themes in his films are dreams, memory, satire of society, and a blend of the comic and the melancholic.

DeBaser's reviews portray Fellini as a singular auteur: oneiric, satirical, and often comic. Recurring themes include dreams, memory, and critiques of Italian society. Signature films discussed here are La Dolce Vita, 8 1/2, Amarcord and La Strada. Reception in the reviews is largely admiring, with occasional critiques of later works.
