The Cinema of Federico Fellini by Peter Bondanella
A biography of Federico Fellini that shows how his exuberant imagination has been shaped by popular culture, literature, and his encounter with the ideas of C G Jung, especially Jungian dream interpretation. It links his mature accomplishments to his first employment as a cartoonist, gagman, and sketch-artist during the Fascist era.
Winner of the 1992 Book Award of the Agnelli Foundation's Conference Group on Italian Politics and Society One of Choice's Outstanding Academic Titles for 1992 "Offers rare insight into the life and times of one of the screen's most imaginative auteurs.. Like its subject's best efforts, the book is as entertaining as it is enriching."--Variety "Peter Bondanella, an esteemed scholar of Italian film, has committed an act of daring. It's the best kind of daring - unselfconscious and authentic... Courageous in ideational independence, he is equally steadfast in his enterprise - to understand and explicate and important artist's process. He does this to an impressive degree, not with clinical smugness but with relish and respect. His book is a loving and helpful tribute."--The New Republic
