Table of ContentsReviews'Burke's book documents the enormous cultural impact that Fellini had in the second half of the 20th century and finally gives Fellini the visibility that he deserved, showing the cultural and geographical range of the director's influence. The volume is a wonderful tool for both scholars of Fellini, specialists of cinema studies, students and film buffs who approach Fellini's films for the first time. Any reader will be able to enter and be guided through Fellini's very complex and fascinating cinematic universe. The work offers a valuable and interesting approach to one of the most famous Italian directors, and is the ideal vehicle, for celebrating Fellini's centennial anniversary birth.' -- Flavia Brizio-Skov, Alphaville: Journal of Film and Screen Media 'Burke's study is truly comprehensive and confronts a broad spectrum of topics from psychology and spirituality to film and camera theory, to name just a few. The author never leaves the reader unprepared for the next analysis, as he delivers important background information for context. What is most appreciated is Burke's approach to his study as a whole. He supplies a meticulously detailed map in Fellini studies and equips readers with abundant knowledge to navigate through each film. However, he never forecloses readers' own supplementary connections. Indeed, the monographic structure of the study directly encourages such engagement. The sharp and ever detailed analysis, which is at the study's core, not only honours Fellini's genius through his complexity, but it also inspires readers to appreciate and learn more about the beloved Italian director. Burke's revised edition of his 1996 publication will continue to benefit scholars in future studies of the great Federico Fellini and his work.' -- Giovanna Caterina Lisena, Journal of Italian Cinema & Media Studies Author InformationFrank Burke is professor emeritus at Queen’s University at Kingston in Ontario, Canada. He is the author and editor of several books, including Federico Fellini: Variety Lights To La Dolce Vita, the Wiley Blackwell Companion to Italian Cinema and (with Marguerite Waller and Marita Gubareva) the Wiley Blackwell Companion to Federico Fellini.
