Federico Fellini

"Federico Fellini remains the best known of the postwar Italian directors. This collection of essays brings Fellini scholarship up to date, employing a range of recent critical approaches, including semiotic, psychoanalytical, feminist, and deconstructionist. Accordingly, a number of important themes arise - the reception of fascism, the crisis of the subject, the question of agency, homoeroticism, feminism, and constructions of gender."--BOOK JACKET.
