This in-depth documentary focuses on revered Italian filmmaker Federico Fellini. In addition to presenting clips from many of Fellini's acclaimed movies, the film features extensive interview footage with the lively and eccentric director, including revelatory conversations recorded in the years before he died. The production also includes interviews with actors who worked with the infamously moody auteur, most notably Roberto Benigni and Donald Sutherland.

Pettigrew's movie functions nicely as a posthumous couch trip, with Fellini explaining the soulful puppetry of his art without pulling the curtain up far enough to let you catch him pulling the strings. Go to Full Review Cole Smithey ColeSmithey.com 04/09/2008
