Fellini - I'm a Born Liar
»rank: 58425
0ur opinion:Description:What sets this film apart from other portraits of Fellini is that director Damian Pettigrew -- who knew Fellini fairly well after meeting him in 1983 -- was afforded a lengthy, privileged, unprecedented access to the man himself. Laced with interviews and classic clips, the film literally retraces Fellini’s footsteps with actors Donald Sutherland and Terence Stamp each contributing valuable insight into the Maestro’s working methods and madness.
