FILM 401 - Great Directors: Fellini

5 credit hours

A study of one of the most radical, controversial, and influential directors in the history of film, from his early days as a runaway circus follower, to his early “neo-realist” films, to his ultimate development as the most powerful, fanciful, and perhaps most misunderstood of surrealistic, expressionist filmmakers.
