Silver Screen Dreams

One of the great directors of the late 20th century, Federico Fellini, wowed (and often shocked) audiences with films such as 8½ and La Dolce Vita. His craft was borne out of a lifetime of experimentation, from his lively youth spent drawing caricatures to his later interest in dreams and Jungian analysis. Constantly surrounded by images—both inspirational material and his own creations —he was a prolific artist and a magpie-like collector of ideas. These stills from the sets of his best-loved films serve as a taste of his visual world, which is being explored at Paris’ Jeu de Paume gallery next month.
