totally agree, Fedrico is God
he’s one of the main reasons Italy’s simply the best country in the world when it comes to film, beats America, France, Japan and UK all to hell when it comes to film
and he’s just such a fascinating man, its redicilous, he didnt record sound so he could simply tell the actors what to do while they were doing it instead of telling them in advance, to me that’s brilliant, he improvised his directions, he was just a painter, using the actors as paint, an artist
besides Dolce Vita and 8 1/2, “Vitelloni, I” and “Il Bidone” and increadibly underrated, it fuckin’ blows my mind how these films can just pass on by unnoticed, these are masterpieces man, sure filmlovers like them, sure they were hot back in the day, but the average joe has not heard of these films and they SHOULD, because they are GREAT and greatness CANNOT be IGNORED!
like tarantino_is_god said, he creates his own world over and over again, worlds that are more beautiful than any sunset or any backyard barbeque in perfectville
