The Fellini Collection (3 DVD)

Winner of four Academy Awards, Federico Fellini has had an immense impact on contemporary film. A visionary, a dreamer, a passionate storyteller and one of the most revered directors in the history of cinema, Federico Fellini managed to create the most original and unique films celebrating the ceaseless carnival of life. With his vivid visual style, iconic, surreal imagery, sly humour and magical sense for the bizarre, Fellini's groundbreaking work has influenced and inspired such celebrated directors as Woody Allen, Terry Gilliam and David Lynch. Included in this collection is the enchanting comedy The White Sheik (1952) (Federico Fellini's debut as a solo director and his first collaboration with composer Nino Rota), his endearing, compelling and unsentimental neo-realism master piece Nights Of Cabiria (1957) and La Strada (1954), the classic drama that introduced him to the world and established him as an important, creative force.
