I,Fellini

Forged from the many conversations Charlotte Chandler conducted with director Federico Fellini over the course of fourteen years, and featuring a forward by Billy Wilder, I, Fellini is a portrait of one of Italy's greatest filmmakers in his own words. In the book, Fellini recounts the stories behind his classic films La Dolce Vita, 8 1/2, La Strada, and others, describing the inspirations from which they arose and the struggles to get them filmed. He also speaks at length on actors Marcello Mastroianni, Anita Ekberg, Sophia Loren, and Anna Magnani, and on directors Roberto Rossellini, Ingmar Bergman, and Michelangelo Antonioni.

This lusty, high-spirited book was forged from conversations, conducted over the course of fourteen years, between Federico Fellini--the great master director-- and author Charolette Chandler.

Charlotte Chandler is the author of The Ultimate Seduction, Hello, I Must Be Going: Groucho and His Friends, and Nobody's Perfect: Billy Wilder, a Personal Biography. She lives in New York City.
