520 This major artistic biography of Federico Fellini shows
how his exuberant imagination has been shaped by popular
culture, literature, and his encounter with the ideas of
Carl Jung, especially Jungian dream interpretation.
Covering Fellini's entire career, the book links his
mature accomplishments to his first employment as a
cartoonist, gagman, and sketch-artist during the Fascist
era and his development as a leading neorealist
scriptwriter. Peter Bondanella thoroughly explores key
Fellinian themes to reveal the director's growth not only
as an artistic master of the visual image but also as an
astute interpreter of culture and politics. Throughout the
book Bondanella draws on a new archive of several dozen
manuscripts, obtained from Fellini and his scriptwriters.
These previously unexamined documents allow a
comprehensive treatment of Fellini's important part in the
rise of Italian neorealism and the even more decisive role
that he played in the evolution of Italian cinema beyond
neorealism in the 1950s. By probing Fellini's recurring
themes, Bondanella reinterprets the visual qualities of
the director's body of work - and also discloses in the
films a critical and intellectual vitality often hidden by
Fellini's reputation as a storyteller and entertainer.
After the first two chapters dealing with Fellini's
precinematic career, the book covers all the films to date
in analytical chapters arrangedby topic: Fellini and his
growth beyond his neorealist apprenticeship, dreams and
metacinema, literature and cinema, Fellini and politics,
Fellini and the image of women, and La voce della luna and
the cinema of poetry.
