Intervista

A knowledge and love of Fellini's films is an essential pre-requisite for this most self-referential of works from a director already well-known for his highly autobiographical content. Originally conceived as a television film to coincide with the 50th anniversary of Cinecittà, the famous Italian studio where many of the director's films were shot Intervista, the director's penultimate film, is at once a gauzily nostalgic trip down memory lane, a summing up of his career and a kind of backstage tour of his working methods.

Whilst the director himself appears in the scenes recreating his early years. Sergio Rubini plays him as a young man whilst Fellini-regular Marcello Mastrioanni, star of the director's 1960 classic La Dolce Vita plays the director in his later years (Anita Ekbergt, the poster girl for that film, also shows up).
