It's absolutely impossible to improvise. Making a movie is a mathematical operation. It is like sending a missile to the moon. It isn't improvised. It is too defined to be called improvisational, too mechanical. Art is a scientific operation, so I can say that what we usually call improvisation is in my case just having an ear and eye for things that sometimes occur during the time we are making the picture. - Federico Fellini (Directing the Film, 1976)
Cinema is an old whore, like circus and variety, who knows how to give many kinds of pleasure. Besides, you can't teach old fleas new dogs.
Fellini is essentially a small-town boy who’s never really come to Rome. He’s still dreaming about it. And we should all be very grateful for those dreams. In a way, he’s still standing outside looking in through the gates. The force of La Dolce Vita comes from its provincial innocence. It’s so totally invented. - Orson Welles
Roger Ebert said
"Amarcord" is Fellini's final great film. The other masterpieces are "La Strada," "Nights of Cabiria," "La Dolce Vita," "8 1/2" and "Juliet of the Spirits." He made other films of consequence, including "Il Bidone," "Fellini Roma," "Fellini Satyricon," "Casanova" and "The Clowns," but those six titles show him in the full flood of his talent.
