Within the framework of the Italian comedy Festival E’ FINITA LA COMMEDIA? 2018, a movie by Ettore Scola, with Giulio Forges Davanzati, Tommaso Lazotti, Maurizio De Santis, Ernesto D’Argenio, Giacomo Lazotti.
The title doesn’t work in English, but Fellini lovers won’t care. “How Strange to Be Named Federico: Scola Narrates Fellini” is Ettore Scola’s affectionate tribute to his friend, a magical trip through history and memory consisting of re-creations and clips that recount, in impressionistic scenes, the decades shared by these two deities of cinema. Scola distills the inventiveness of his beloved colleague, laying metaphorical flowers at Fellini’s exalted position in the grand pantheon of directors and bringing tears to the eyes of audiences happily in thrall to his imagination. Fests and ancillary should jump.
In Italian, with Hebrew & English subtitles.
