Hi @namiks, I feel an extraordinary joy to have stopped by this post. Your treatment of the film la Dolce Vita is impeccable and your appreciation of Fellini's cinema deserves applause, at least my applause!
The anamorphic lenses Fellini used gave an aesthetic and semantic touch not usually seen in other auteur filmmakers.
The perspective and out-of-field lenses invite us to think, and to try not to miss any detail (it is impossible not to watch it more than once to capture hidden messages in each frame rigorously designed by the great master of Italian cinema).
I once read that Federico Fellini drew the entire story board of his films. Can you imagine?
For me, this discovery made me admire him even more.
Honestly, I loved this homage you made to La Dolce Vita, to Otello Martelli's perfect frames, and to the master Federico Fellini.
Thank you for the really nice comment! I'm actually happy that somebody did end up enjoying it, to see the film beyond entertainment and into the technicals of it.
Absolutely! It's very dreamlike, especially in the areas that do display the more dated areas of Italy. For a film from its time, it's incredible. So much attention to the idea of what a film can and should do, and how you can manipulate that with the technology you have and the story you tell.
I've seen many others from that era, but nothing quite like La Dolce Vita in terms of quality in every aspect. It puts many of today's works to shame.
