Little appears to be filmed for the movie itself, or at least within the last decade, and the caliber tends to be less than a Bravo profile. Full Review |

If you want to learn about Fellini, don't listen to him prattle on. Go rent 8 1/2 instead. Full Review |

3/4 |
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. Full Review |

A charming piece of history. Full Review |
