註釋The films are discussed in chronological order, with five sections to each film. The first section is a list of the important members of the production crew; followed by the cast list (both of these make for interesting comparisons among the films); a synopsis (not an easy thing when discussing Fellini's films); notes on the film, nearly all of which are signed by Fava; and a selection of the film's reviews both good and bad. And each film is, of course, wonderfully illustrated with stills--all told, the book contains more than 200 photographs. As intended, the book’s strengths are indeed in the Notes and Reviews sections. The reviews collected in the book are balanced and give the reader insight into the contemporary critical outlook for each film, with reviews for the later films placing them within the overall Fellini oeuvre. There have, of course, been published subsequent books on Fellini’s work, but this early overview by two critics who had followed the director’s career almost from the outset is valuable for the insider knowledge it imparts regarding the great director’s struggles and creative process.
