Summary:

Few modern filmmakers have stimulated film art and film idea as provocatively as Frederico Fellini, the celebrated filmmaker whose career spanned four decades. Frank Burke conducts an in-depth analysis of Fellini's 23 films, from early associations with Roberto Rossellini and Alberto Lattuada to such classics as La Dolce Vita, 8 1/2, The Clowns, and City of Women. Burke pays close attention to concepts of modernism, post-modernism, and gender issues, as he supports the idea that Fellini is an "author", as potentially complex and rich as Joyce or Eliot. This comprehensive and often provocative study is a definitive analysis of Fellini's full body of work.-- Full analysis of the 23 films made by Fellini over a 40-year period.-- Provocative conclusions on contemporary issues such as sexuality and gender in Fellini's work.
