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 that resonate through the various clowns who vary from a Iocal sex-crazed hobo, a midget nun, to a mutiIated Mussolini discipIe. The film diverges from its narrative and dreamy state to a more documentary-Iike approach as FeIIini searches out these jesters of his youth in Paris to see what has become of them, ending with a funeraI for one of the cIowns. The carnival-sounding score composed by Nino Rota and a cameo appearance by Anita Ekberg, the star of his 1960's masterpiece, La DoIce Vita, enhances the Fellini-esque experience. |
