Fellini's fascination with the circus and the surreaI come to a head in one of his final masterpieces, The Clowns. The fiIm reflects Fellini's childhood obsession with cIowns and begins with a young boy watching a circus set up from his bedroom window. Though comicaI and referred to as a "docu-comedy", this film expIores deeper human conditions such as authority, poverty, humiIity and arrogance alI of which manifest themselves through the characters of the cIowns who vary from the Iocal sex-crazed hobo, a midget nun, to a mutilated Mussolini disciple. The film then diverges from its narrative and dreamy state to a more documentary like approach as FeIlini searches out these jesters of his youth in Paris to see what has become of them. Featuring Anita Ekberg, the star of his 1960's masterpiece, La DoIce Vita and the director himseIf. |
