i always liked the passion that martin gives on his words when he speaks on filmmaking and film in general.

I love directors who are real film lovers like Tarantino, Speilberg and Scorsese of course.

Sometimes they are better film lovers than directors. I personally like Tarantino's film pre -Django, Scorsese's Casino but many people question the authenticity. Their art might not be really authentic but their love for film sure is

Italy doesn't deserve Fellini. Italy forgot and literally killed him. Once Benigni said, half joking, that we were in need of a tax for allowing Fellini to work again, and he was fucking right. This country is culturally guilty of have killed one of the greatest masters of all time, a true pure genius. My admiration for Scorsese is immense, after this interview I was in tears.

Suso Cecchi d'Amico was one of the most prolific writers in European film. She wrote over 100 screenplays beginning in 1947, including The Bicycle Thief, most of Visconti's films, and films for Antonioni, Fellini and other great Italians directors.

I though Cesare Zvattini wrote Bicycle thieves

Fellini movies used to show on t.v. all the time on late night stations. They are so weird and fun. What a great childhood I had!

The "Nights of Cabiria" has such a magnet that you can't stop watching it. Somehow Fellini shows the poorest parts of Italy and by his magic on cinematography it looks beautiful, weird but true.

I have almost all of the Fellini's films and he was excellent

"La Strada" and "Nights of Cabiria" are two favorites of mine. Very personal, sweet, sentimental, hilarious and sad. Fellini's wife, Giulietta Massina, was brilliant in her expressions and physical outpouring of emotion....a Charlie Chaplin in her own way.

Gabriel Katz asked (around 3 years ago) in this comment section, who Martin was talking about at 3:34? I'm trying to reply directly to that post but I can't seem to figure out how to do that. Sorry. But the answer is Suso Cecchi D'Amico (she has writing credits on The Bicycles Thieves, The Leopard, and many, many others). She worked with almost all of the great Italian directors including Antonioni, Rosi, and Zeffirelli. She died in 2010 and I was very sad at her passing because I felt she never got the acclaim and attention she deserved. I was (at the time) hoping that she would receive an Honorary Oscar for Lifetime Achievement or something like that but she didn't win that kind of acclaim in America for her work. She was the recipient of a Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement in 1994 from the Venice Film Festival and the David di Donatello Award for Lifetime Achievement in 1980. She will be greatly missed.

Thanks for posting this interview. Extremely interesting. And a nice tribute to a genius, Federico Fellini.

Scorsese always has the best insights into films and filmmakers.

I recently saw La Strada and fell in love with that movie. It's in my top 10.

Martin may be the present greatest leaving director however, his differences with Fellini are very strong Fellini was soft, light, allusive, indirect, nonviolent, ironic Scorsese's style is the opposite: heavy, violent, direct, hard,

Felllini light? Man, Fellini images where beyond the grasp of rational understanding, but somehow they moved us and revealed something hidden from our inner self.

Thank you for posting this! Excellent, insightful interview. Scorsese really illuminates what makes these films so special.

81/2 seems to me a progression in film from what Orson Welles did in Citizen Kane. Welles did it by describing the external events, but Felini did it within the internal life if the main character Guido.

The music in 8 1/2 is great. The harem scene is very funny.

Great interview. Really appreciate it.

that harem scene was fantablieastic

What's interesting about Fellini, and many film makers like Tarkovsky and Antonioni, is that you have to analyze their films. Otherwise they woun't be as remarkable. And other directors like Hitchcock, Scorsese and Kubrick, their films are great even without analyzing them, but analyzing them makes the films even better. All great directors thou.

+severi saaristo Or maybe it depends on where you come from.. it depends on what perspective you have as u discover these films, what you've seen in life. The more culture you have, the more you get from films, but its'not jsut about culture either, sometimes you just get it for some strange reason. I used to think that about Stravinsky and Bartok (that you need to analyze it to enjoy it, or get used to it before being able to enjoy), then I heard a guy saying that when he first started getting interested in music he loved Stravinsky and Bartok, it sounded great to him, while stuff like Mozart and Beethoven he didn't understand the greatness of them (till much later). It was Chick Corea, the great jazz pianist and composer, who said that, I was very surprised, because it was the opposite with me. I think there are people who have a huge blast on a first watch of Fellini and the other you mentioned. Nostalgia (Tarkovsky) was a very enjoyable first watch for me. Not 8 1/2 though, I have to watch it again to comprehend it better.

I agree. Makes you wonder who the real genius is. I think it's better to have films that are great without analysis, and even greater upon analysis

This is always exciting.

I got 8 1/2 on blu ray, oh my god

The first time I watched 8 1/2 I was so confused and didn't get it. But I could tell there was something amazing in there. The second time I watched it I really liked it and understood what was happening more but there were definitely gaps. The third time it clicked and now I fucking love this movie.

Martin is "nearly" better as a movie critic, rather than a film director ...
