About This Item
- Details
- Genre: Drama
- Description: Limited 15 Blu-ray disc set. One hundred years after his birth, FEDERICO FELLINI still stands apart as a giant of the cinema. The Italian maestro is defined by his dualities the sacred and the profane, the masculine and the feminine, the provincial and the urbane. He began his career working in the slice-of-life poetry of neorealism, and though he soon spun off on his own freewheeling creative axis, he never lost that grounding, evoking his dreams, memories, and obsessions on increasingly grand scales in increasingly grand productions teeming with carnivalesque imagery and flights of phantasmagoric surrealism while maintaining an earthy, embodied connection to humanity. Bringing together fourteen of the director's greatest spectacles, all beautifully restored, this centenary box set is a monument to an artist who conjured a cinematic universe all his own a vision of the world as a three-ring circus in which his innermost infatuations, fears, and fantasies take center stage.
