Political Fellini

Více o knize

Focusing on Federico Fellini's films, this book challenges the notion of him as a disengaged filmmaker by situating his work within Italy's political landscape. It explores how his celebrated themes—nostalgia for childhood, elusive female figures, fantasy, and carnival—reflect the country's traumatic modernity and ongoing struggle with identity. By interpreting Fellini's cinema as a representation of Italy's "mythical biography," it reveals deeper societal implications behind his dreamlike and grotesque storytelling.
