Federico Fellini is deemed to be one of the most significant directors in the history of cinema. Crucial for his career was his friendship with Rossellini who introduced him with magical possibilities of creating parallel worlds. Fellini’s directorial debut was “Variety Lights” (Luci del varieta), a co-operation with director Alberto Lattuada. This film heralds the dawning of a new era in post-war Italy and in accordance with it a new era in film poetics: optimism becomes a regular spice and accentuation moves from socio-economic to psychological contents. Poetics grows in the direction of neorealism which was later dubbed “neorealism of the soul” and its most significant representative is Federico Fellini himself. Next to “Amarcord” some of his most influential works include “Gadabouts” (I vitelloni), “The Road” (La strada), “The Sweet Life” (La dolce vita), “Federico Fellini's 8½” (8½), “Juliet of the Spirits” (Giulietta degli spiriti)…
