Broderick Crawford, Richard Basehart and Masina star in a story about a team of confidence tricksters roaming the countryside tricking farmers out of their savings. This film, like La Strada, is a midway point between the neorealism of Fellini’s early screenwriting career and the humour and picaresque pathos of his later work.

This was Fellini’s first solo directing credit: a joyful romantic comedy that stars the veteran Roman actor Alberto Sordi as a bridegroom whose wife goes missing. It features – as a dwarf nun – Adelina Poerio, who went on to play the red-clad killer in Don’t Look Now. The Clowns (1970)Ī docu-fiction about Fellini’s fascination and passion for circus clowns.
Orchestra Rehearsal (1978)Īn interesting, atypical, underrated Fellini film – perhaps closer to Miloš Forman – a political satire about an orchestra that goes on strike. Fellini’s Casanova (1976)ĭonald Sutherland is Casanova who, in keeping with Fellini’s habitual wayward episodic anarchy and surrealism, is shown not really as a great lover, but an absurd and comic figure at the mercy of fate and his urges.

Masina has a tiny role as the girlfriend of one of the vaudevillians. A beautiful young woman joins a travelling troupe of entertainers. Variety Lights (1950)įellini’s debut movie, co-directed with Albert Lattuada, and with a real taste of the exuberance and theatricality still to come.
FEDERICO FELLINI BEST FILMS MOVIE
Fellini Satyricon (1969)Ī movie with Fellini’s signature surrealism and episodic structure: a fever dream of imperial Rome, taken from Petronius. Some quaint softcore sensuality, perhaps, in this study of a man (Mastroianni) who, Dante-like, wakes up in the middle of his life and finds himself in a hotel in the middle of the woods that is overrun with desirable women. Intervista (1987)Ī fantasy-fictional version of a documentary, as Fellini grants an interview to a Japanese camera crew and takes them round Cinecittà studios and the contents of his own mind and memories.
