Federico Fellini, Circus Master

January 8, 2010
7:30–9:30 pm
Plestcheeff Auditorium


La Strada (1954). In 35 mm, 115 min.

Like artist Alexander Calder, master Italian director Federico Fellini saw the circus as a metaphor for life. Fellini's circus parade–like films project a carnivalesque sense of theatricality and role-playing. And his best work spotlights his Chaplinesque wife, actress Giulietta Masina, who "experiences the tragedy and comedy of life with the tender amazement of a clown." This series presents four Fellini/Masina 35 mm masterpieces, in Italian with English subtitles.

Other films in this series include:

January 22: The Nights of Cabiria
March 5: Juliet of the Spirits
March 19: Ginger and Fred
