Book Synopsis Political Fellini by : Andrea Minuz

Download or read book Political Fellini written by Andrea Minuz and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2015-10-01 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Federico Fellini is often considered a disengaged filmmaker, interested in self-referential dreams and grotesquerie rather than contemporary politics. This book challenges that myth by examining the filmmaker’s reception in Italy, and by exploring his films in the context of significant political debates. By conceiving Fellini’s cinema as an individual expression of the nation’s “mythical biography,” the director’s most celebrated themes and images — a nostalgia for childhood, unattainable female figures, fantasy, the circus, carnival — become symbols of Italy’s traumatic modernity and perpetual adolescence.
