This is reckoned to be the highlight of the Cine Lumiere's Made in Italy season. Here are the details of the films on from March 5th to 8th and here is their introduction to tonight's screening:
The film is a tribute and a portrait of Federico Fellini, on the twentieth anniversary of the great director’s death. In addition to Fellini’s incredibly rich cinema, it aims to commemorate a few private and lesser-known aspects of his life. An original film, made out of moments, and scattered impressions that recreate the emotions provoked by a great man: his genius, his famous irony, and his motto that ‘life is a party’.
The movie will be introduced by Adrian Wooton, the chief executive of Film London.
