federico fellini

I watched Amarcord (again), and what a piece of work that was. Fellini is a poet. he uses visual metaphores to tell the story...literally. there is a scene where a kid walks in the fog, and we all know how scary the thick mist can be and how we see trees creating monstruous shapes; well Fellini uses actors dressed as monstruous trees to convey the idea. that's genious.
sex is talked about as love, fantasy, obsession. teenagers have that "love or die" mentality in his movies. so much passion.
