Federico Fellini

"Federico Fellini is one of the most beloved and revered filmmakers of the twentieth century, having entertained audiences worldwide with his ability to breathe life into imagery normally confined to human memory and emotion. His insights into the world of dreams have contributed to his many famous cinematic creations, including La Dolce Vita, 8 1/2, and La Strada. A unique combination of memory, fantasy, and desire, this illustrated volume is a personal diary of Fellini{u2019}s private visions and nighttime fantasies. Fellini, winner of four Oscars for Best Foreign Language Film, kept notebooks filled with unique sketches and notes from his dreams from the 1960s onward.

This dream diary exhibits Fellini{u2019}s deeply personal taste for the bizarre and the irrational. His sketches focus on the profound struggle of the soul and are tinged with humor, empathy, and insight. Fellini{u2019}s Book of Dreams is an intriguing source of never-before-published writings and drawings, which reveal the master filmmaker{u2019}s personal vision and his infinite imagination."--Amazon.

Made in 1974, Fellini's Casanova was Federico Fellini's most controversial film: criticized in the United States for being either too pornographic or too esoteric and praised in Europe for its sophistication and artistic glamour. Fellini himself considered his interpretation of the life of Giacomo Casanova to be his most complete, expressive, and courageous work. Fellini's Casanova is part of the Script & Director series - a collection of director-written screenplays, along with a script analysis and an essay about the director and the film that provide insight into the director's personal vision.
