'''Federico Fellini''' (1920-1993) was a famous Italian film-maker. Today, he's most likely known for his "Felliniesque" style. That is, magical realism, but not enough to qualify. Surreal, but not too surreal. Strange, and yet, highly sedate.
 
But above all, it is generally considered that Fellini is one of the more important film-makers to come out of the neo-realist movement, eventually abandoning those roots and moving into the world of movie artifice.
