I think your fondness for Fellini is certainly justified and my own failure to connect has never resulted in a lack of interest. I'll definitely be checking out Histoiries Extraoridinaires. <BR/><BR/>And I wholeheartedly agree about Juliet of the Spirits.FilmWalrushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14822833888119348361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1250324745932561231.post-3013302991968344062008-09-26T15:53:00.000-05:002008-09-26T15:53:00.000-05:00I'm really fond of both directors so I hate compar...I'm really fond of both directors so I hate comparing them, but their work is very different in my mind. Fellini is often obsessed with sensual and tactile pleasures where Antonioni is not. I can appreciate what they both offer viewers but I it seems as if Fellini is falling out of favor lately. I have a lot of opinions about this but maybe I should save them for my own blog.<BR/><BR/>I do agree with you about Fellini's early films to some degree. I think he really found his voice as a director when he let go of neorealism. While I wouldn't characterize Giulietta Masina's acting as false, I can understand why you might find it too theatrical at times. My own favorite Fellini films were made in the '60s (La Dolce vita, 8 1/2, Satyricon and Histoires extraordinaires) and I think Masina is best used in Fellini's Juliet of the Spirits which was made during this period.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1250324745932561231.post-81429818738893693212008-09-14T10:54:00.000-05:002008-09-14T10:54:00.000-05:00I'm on board with you on this one as well.I'm on board with you on this one as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
