Editorial Reviews:
Synopsis:

Told almost entirely in the first person, this is the final, high-spirited testament of the lusty man whose dreams, memories, and nightmares made La Dolce Vita and La Strada, and who towered above other great directors in the rich ferment of Italian post-World War II filmmakers. These are the oral memoirs of a genius. 32-page photo insert.


Review:

" ...epicurean ecstasies on food, unreconstructed ravings on women, and dream after dream after dream. At times it feels like being trapped in a small room with a madman. And yet moments of epiphanic understanding of the human condition keep breaking through, like flecks of gold uncovered in the dust."

Kirkus, 08/01/1995

Review:

"These conversations are like an elaborately constructed, almost satisfying, but quite false confession, from which truths occasionally appear; and are more interesting because of what their openness almost conceals, their surprising secrecy."

Philip Hensher, Spectator, 06/08/1996

Book Description: Random House, 1995. Hard Cover. Book Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Very-good ex-library hardback. Usual library markings. Inner pages are free from writing and tears. Tight spine, clean pages. Illustrated. This lusty, high spirited book came out of conversations, conducted over the course of fourteen years, between Frederico Fellini, the reknowned director of of such landmark films as 8 1/2, and La Dolce Vita, and author Charlotte Chandler. The result is a work of astonishing candor, subtle wit, and brilliant insight into the mystery of motion pictures. From Publishers Weekly Chandler, who befriended and interviewed Italian film director Federico Fellini from 1980 until shortly before his death in 1993, has distilled their talks into a first-person narrative that reveals a touchy, egocentric, obsessive personality, a perfectionist who claimed never to have seen any of his films once he'd completed them. Fellini credits his wife, the late actress Giulietta Masina, with helping him discover the imaginative terrain he explored in his movies. He recalls his privileged yet emotionally deprived childhood?his father was a remote, philandering wine-and-cheese salesman with whom Federico's strict, religious mother was bitterly unhappy. Fellini also discusses the symbolism of his dreams, his single, unfruitful LSD trip and his study of Jungian psychology, which helped him unchain his subconscious and place fantasy over realism. Chandler wrote Hello, I Must Be Going with Groucho Marx. Photos not seen by PW. Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc. Ex-Library. Bookseller Inventory # 044553
