The Italian film director and screenwriter Federico Fellini is known for his distinctive style which blends fantasy and baroque images with earthiness. He is recognized as one of the greatest and most influential filmmakers of all time. His films have ranked highly in critical polls in Cahiers du Cinema and Sight & Sound, which listed his 1963 film 8½ as the 10th-greatest film of all time. Fellini was nominated for twelve Academy Awards and won four in the category of Best Foreign Language Film, the most ever for any director. He was ranked 2nd in the directors’ poll and 7th in the critics’ poll in Sight & Sound’s 2002 list of the greatest directors of all time. The first session of this course will be a review of Fellini’s life and work. The remaining four sessions will include full-length screenings of four great films (La Strada*; Nights of Cabiria*; La Dolce Vita; and 8½ *), followed by discussion as time permits.
