Recounting the director's experience making La Strada, Kezich tells how Fellini was seized by a nearly paralyzing depression during filming. (The latter 3 films all star Bill Murray, perhaps making him this generation's droller stand-in for Marcello Mastroianni.) Tullio Kezich, a film critic and longtime friend of Fellini's, has written an intimate, detailed biography that perfectly captures Fellini's roller coaster of a life. But, other, younger filmmakers have also adopted a "Felliniesque" approach, including: Spike Jonze ( Adaptation), Sophia Coppola ( Lost In Translation), Wes Anderson ( The Life Aquatic) and Jim Jarmusch ( Broken Flowers). Certainly, directors like Woody Allen have drawn obvious inspiration from the maestro in films such as Stardust Memories and Deconstructing Harry. There is no filmmaker quite like Federico Fellini, yet his influence can be seen in countless films of the past 40 years.
