[edit] The Mars Volta

I don't know much about Federico Fellini, but The Mars Volta took the Volta in their name from a book by him. If anyone could include something about Volta, I for one would appreciate it. If The Mars Volta weren't as popular as they are, I would disregard it. --Snaxe920 23:14, September 9, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] stubs that need to be completed

i was rather suprised when i logged on to find that there were no articles for some of Fellini's films; not even stubs. So ive gone and put short/stub articles so at least there is something for all of Fellini's films. I will continue to add to these articles when i have time but until then, i urge somebody to go ahead and write one or two of these.--zachjones4 16:28, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] expansion

I think that a legend in cinema diserves a little more than a simple timeline. I and many others would appreciate it if someone with a knowledge of his life, and more importantly, his film technique, spent some time with this article. Thanks.


It really needs an expansion. It's curious that other italian directors that are at most as renowned as Fellini, like Pasolini and Antonioni, got such better articles. Jlpspinto 03:54, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

The Fellini article needs improvement (although much improved since 2006) and expansion but the Antonioni does as well. To my mind, both articles are on the same "start" level. The Pasolini, however, reads very well indeed. I'm hoping to contribute my two cents shortly. 82.123.75.107 08:39, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Yeah no kidding. If someone could write a section on how Fellini went from neorealism to an increasingly surreal style, that could improve this article a bit. Maybe I will - need to read more on this subject first. Igorrr 09:34, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Thank you very much!!

Regarding the shift from neorealism, the legacy section doesn't make clear that "Felliniesque" refers only to the surreal style and not at all to the earlier neorealism -- a misrepresentation of his legacy and misleading to anyone who has seen perhaps only the neorealist films.Robcuny 02:01, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Gushing prose

Bit heavy on the compliments, is this article. It should really be written from a less strongly advocative point of view. Chris Cunningham 21:10, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] I can't find references to MANY of the points in this article

Can anyone point me to a reference that says that Fellini met Che Guevara or that he lived in the states? I'm new here, and i would love to help on this piece but i'm confused by the lack of references.

Thanks and be well,

Jorge
