Fellini’s Eternal Rome: Paganism and Christianity in the Films of Federico Fellini (Classical Receptions in Twentieth-Century Writing) by Alessandro Carrera
Requirements: .PDF reader, 2 MB
Overview: In Fellini’s Eternal Rome, Alessandro Carrera explores the co-existence and conflict of paganism and Christianity in the works of Federico Fellini. By combining source analysis, cultural history and jargon-free psychoanalytic film theory, Carrera introduces the reader to a new appreciation of Fellini’s work.
Life-affirming Franciscanism and repressive Counter-Reformation dogmatism live side by side in Fellini’s films, although he clearly tends toward the former and resents the latter. The fascination with pre-Christian Rome shines through La Dolce Vita and finds its culmination in Fellini-Satyricon, the most audacious attempt to imagine what the West would be if Christianity had never replaced classical Rome. Minimal clues point toward a careful, extremely subtle use of classical texts and motifs.
