Italy | 1987 | Federico Fellini

Marcello Mastroianni (La Dolce Vita, 8½) and Anita Ekberg (La Dolce Vita) make memorable appearances in Federico Fellini’s evocative and nostalgic valentine to Italy’s Cinecittà Film Studios, where the great director worked for four decades. Both a backstage tour and a celebration of the maestro’s love of cinema, Fellini’s penultimate film includes memories, dreams, detours, and a tribute to his longtime collaborator, composer Nino Rota. ‘A magical mixture of recollection, parody, memoir, satire, self-examination and joyous fantasy. With Fellini himself as the master of ceremonies, the film is an uproarious celebration of the studio community: actors, actresses, bit players, makeup artists, scene painters, publicity agents, technicians, hangers-on and gate-crashers.” –NY Times. New 4K restoration! Cleveland revival premiere. Subtitles. 106 min.
