Description de l'ouvrage :
Federico Fellini’s distinct style delighted generations of film viewers and inspired filmmakers and artists around the world. In Fellini’s Films and Commercials, renowned Fellini scholar Frank Burke presents a film-by-film analysis of the famed director’s cinematic output from a theoretical perspective. He explores Fellini’s movement from relatively classic filmmaking to modernist reflexivity, and then to “postmodern reproduction.” Burke moves from analysis of stories told from a relatively “objective” standpoint, to increased concentration on Fellini-as-author and on the cinematic apparatus, to Fellini’s dismantling of authorship and the cinematic apparatus, to his postmodern signifying strategies. Grounded in poststructuralist approaches to texts and signification, Burke shows that Fellini is profoundly readable, if extremely complex.

Revisiting Burke’s 1996 monograph, this revised and updated edition includes a new preface and an additional chapter on the filmmaker’s work on commercials. Elegantly written and thoroughly researched, this book is essential reading for any Fellini fan or scholar.

Revue de Presse :
"Burke's study is truly comprehensive and confronts a broad spectrum of topics from psychology and spirituality to film and camera theory, to name just a few. The author never leaves the reader unprepared for the next analysis, as he delivers important background information for context. What is most appreciated is Burke's approach to his study as a whole. He supplies a meticulously detailed map in Fellini studies and equips readers with abundant knowledge to navigate through each film. However, he never forecloses readers' own supplementary connections. Indeed, the monographic structure of the study directly encourages such engagement. The sharp and ever detailed analysis, which is at the study’s core, not only honours Fellini's genius through his complexity, but it also inspires readers to appreciate and learn more about the beloved Italian director. Burke's revised edition of his 1996 publication will continue to benefit scholars in future studies of the great Federico Fellini and his work."
Giovanna Caterina Lisena, Journal of Italian Cinema & Media Studies

"A comprehensive account of Fellini's entire output, including close analyses of all the films and television commercials from a consistent-but-dynamicallyopen critical-theoretical perspective. . . . With an entire mountain range of books and other texts on the Italian auteur, Fellini's Films and Commercials represents a pinnacle in English-language Fellini scholarship. . . . The new book is a kind of summa of Burke's own Fellini scholarship, the product of a scholar-auteur at the peak of his game."
Italica

"Burke's book documents the enormous cultural impact that Fellini had in the second half of the 20th century and finally gives Fellini the visibility that he deserved, showing the cultural and geographical range of the director's influence. The volume is a wonderful tool for both scholars of Fellini, specialists of cinema studies, students and film buffs who approach Fellini's films for the first time. Any reader will be able to enter and be guided through Fellini’s very complex and fascinating cinematic universe. The work offers a valuable and interesting approach to one of the most famous Italian directors, and is the ideal vehicle, for celebrating Fellini’s centennial anniversary birth."
Flavia Brizio-Skov, Alphaville: Journal of Film and Screen Media
