Federico Fellini transformed Italian cinema with surreal, deeply personal visions, blending neorealist roots with increasingly dreamlike, carnivalesque imagery. La Dolce Vita follows a disillusioned tabloid journalist through Rome’s hedonism, 8 1/2 retreats a blocked director into memory and fantasy, Juliet of the Spirits sends a betrayed wife into a surreal inner world, and Amarcord paints a comic, nostalgic portrait of small-town adolescence under fascism. La Strada and Nights of Cabiria round out the list.
