Our take

How else could Federico Fellini bid farewell to cinema but with a baroque, dreamlike, and nostalgic fable? Here’s a welcome restoration of this Ermanno Cavazzoni adaptation with Roberto Benigni, for which Fellini created an Italian town from scratch—a poetic vision amongst a disenchanting modernity.
