Features: Compared to his dreams, Federico Fellini's real life was even more remarkable. He channeled his dreams onto film reels, leaving behind a rich legacy for us. This book is the result of Charlotte Chandler's fourteen-year (1980-1993) conversations with Federico Fellini, divided into three parts. The first part recounts Fellini's early life, including the influences of circus, cinema, and American comics on him during his childhood, his work as a cartoonist and journalist in Rome during his youth, and his subsequent involvement in radio and film writing. The second part tells of his journey to becoming a director and gradually gaining fame. The third part focuses on how Fellini became a master and transformed into a legend. Federico Fellini told the author, "I have told you everything in my life. These are my last words, because there is nothing more for me to say." This book is rich in detail and written with a gentle and intimate tone, which will undoubtedly help readers better understand Federico Fellini as a person and his works.
