Mixing nostalgia and irony, Fellini's reverie has a sad undercurrent -- as if he didn't have the energy to do something more ambitious.

Rated: 3/4

Fellini, distant from the theater yet clearly fascinated by its unique properties, has blended them into his ultracinematic style...in Intervista he is the center, amiable yet enjoying his performance.

Federico Fellini broke through all the walls he could find in 1987's delightfully jumbled Intervista. The maestro created a film about a film about a film.

An enjoyable, lightweight entertainment, filled with the usual Felliniesque characters, faces, and situations.

A meta look at Fellini's career is a delightful trip through the Italian studios and breaks down the fourth wall a lot. Not as strong as a lot of his movies but is good for a director very late in his career.

Strange, but warmhearted reminiscence of days gone by in the life and career of Federico Fellini.

My first Fellini was really disappointing, Maybe it wasn't a good choice to watch this before his other movies

Pure fascination! All Fellini's lovely fixations get together. It's more like a documentary rather than a film. Bunch of likable misfits hanging out for no apparent reason, but Fellini's presence addresses them to happiness and nostalgia.

I haven't seen other Fellini's works (gasp!) but I love the chaos and randomness in this. Can't stop laughing throughout the film.

(** 1/2): Thumbs Down I liked some moments but this is not as good as many of Fellini's other works.
