Even if I set out to make a film about a fillet of sole, it would be about me.
Federico Fellini

Federico Fellini

Peellaert's comic strips were the literature of intelligence, imagination and romanticism.
Federico Fellini
Image
No matter what happens, always Keep your childhood innocence. It's the most important thing.
Federico Fellini
Image
Freedom, especially a woman's freedom, is a conquest to be made, not a gift to be received. It isn't granted. It must be taken.
Federico Fellini
Image
Hype is the awkward and desperate attempt to convince journalists that what you've made is worth the misery of having to review it.
Federico Fellini
Image
Marriage, if it is to survive, must be treated as the beginning, not as the happy ending.
Federico Fellini
Image
No critic writing about a film could say more than the film itself, although they do their best to make us think the oppposite.
