In 1992, one year before his death, Italian director/screenwriter Frederico Fellini was interviewed by documentary filmmaker Damian Pettigrew. Fellini evokes memories of his childhood, speaks about his fear of women, confides his need for spirituality and seems serene in the face of death. But especially, Fellini speaks abundantly about his work as a director. His remarks are interspersed with testimonies from some of his actors (
Terence Stamp,
Donald Sutherland,
Roberto Benigni), his collaborators and his friends. Extracts of his films are shown as well as archival footage of him on the set, directing his films.
Absolutly fantastic doc-film, a work of art in itself.
The story about the artist and movies made by one of the most creative movie directors/creators to date. A must if you like fine and creative movies like the ones made by this Maestro.
A masterclass with Fellini and the funniest sequence ever seen in a doc…
