Fellini discusses his views of making motion pictures and his unorthodox procedures. He seeks inspiration in various out of the way places. During this film viewers go with him to the Colisseum at night, on a subway ride past Roman ruins, to the Appian Way, to a slaughterhouse, and on a visit to Marcello Mastroianni's house. Fellini also is seen in his own office interviewing a series of unusual characters seeking work or his help.

VIBE

A deeply personal and visually rich journey into the mind of a master. It feels like wandering through a dream, guided by Fellini's unique perspective on art, life, and the elusive nature of inspiration.
