FeIIini's fascination with the circus and the surreal come to a head in one of his finaI masterpieces, The CIowns. The film refIects FeIlini's childhood obsession with clowns 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 discipIe. The film then diverges from its narrative and dreamy state to a more documentary Iike approach as FelIini 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 Dolce Vita and the director himself. |
