IMDb Rating: 7.3/10 Not to be confused with another film called Roma (from 2018), Fellini's Roma (1972) represents the director at his most oblique and unpredictable. While he'd made a few films before 1972 that didn't have much of a concrete narrative, they did generally have a protagonist who could help the audience see events from a singular poi...
IMDb Rating: 7.5/10 Even with a respectable score of 7.5/10 on IMDb, it's pretty easy to call 1955's The Swindle one of Federico Fellini's most underrated movies, as it doesn't get discussed as often as his best-known classics. It's a compelling crime filmthat follows a group of con men as they pull off various jobs, more often than not scamming st...
IMDb Rating: 7.5/10 And the Ship Sails On is another Federico Fellini movie that's light on plot, but its setting being limited to a luxury cruise ship does ensure it can't branch off as much as the aforementioned Roma, which had an entire city for its cinematic playground. Much of it follows a journalist getting to know the odd people on the ship,...
IMDb Rating: 7.5/10 While Federico Fellini flirted with fantasy before 1965, Juliet of the Spirits saw the director embracing the genre wholeheartedly. The film begins as a dramedy about a woman suspecting her husband of cheating on her but becomes increasingly surreal and dreamlike as she uses mysticism to gather the courage to confront and eventu...
IMDb Rating: 7.8/10 With only his third feature film, Federico Fellini established himself as a force to be reckoned with. I Vitelloniis arguably his first great movie, or at the very least can be seen as an underappreciated classic in his filmography, following a group of friends enduring the ups and downs of life while living in a small Italian t...
IMDb Rating: 7.9/10 Amarcord'stitle can be roughly translated to "I remember" in English, which is fitting. It's perhaps Federico Fellini's most nostalgia-heavy film, and also one of his most personal, being a semi-autobiographical look at life in a small Italian town during the 1930s, loosely based on Fellini's own experiences as a child/teenager....
IMDb Rating: 8.0/10 Another Federico Fellini movie that deals with realism over nostalgia, dreams, and memories, La Strada,is one of the great director's grimmest efforts. It follows a young woman (once again played by Giulietta Masina) being sold to a traveling circus, with the experience ultimately being one that causes a great deal of emotional ...
IMDb Rating: 8.0/10 Besides the anthology film Boccaccio ’70 (which had several directors), La Dolce Vita is Federico Fellini's longest and most sprawling film. It follows a womanizing journalist named Marcello Rubini and has an episodic structure that has him meeting increasingly strange people while covering various unusual events. It satirizes t...
IMDb Rating: 8.0/10 8½ proves to be even more semi-autobiographical than Amarcord, though the fact it's largely set during the 1960s (with some surreal flashbacks) does make it a little less nostalgic. Its story about a struggling filmmaker being overwhelmed by work, memories, and various dreams likely represents how Fellini felt during the most su...
IMDb Rating: 8.1/10 Nights of Cabiria might be Federico Fellini's most emotional movie and understandably sits as his highest-rated on IMDb. It pairs well with the similarly heavy La Strada, given Nights of Cabiriaalso stars his wife Giulietta Masina, and sees her character enduring the hardships of the life she's found herself in. Here, she plays ...
