Fellini is seen as a puppeteer, a sort of Jim Henson, who demanded complete control
Federico Fellini
over his actors and anything else that had to do with his movies was truly an artist with a canvas that was in motion. What I take away from watching his movies was his honesty. Although movies like “8 &1/2” and “Juliet of the Spirits” are filled with dream or mystical sequences, it is impossible to escape Fellini’s truthfulness.
Fellini contributed to an unnamed movement that had us all thinking about film differently. He stoked up our imagination a bit.
An exhibit at the Jeu de Paume “Fellini, la Grande Parade” ends January 17th 2010 and for those of us who celebrate the coming of the New Year in Paris, seeing this exhibit might be a great way to bring in the year.
