His rich career lasted almost 50 years, and Fellini has built a reputation as someone who on the only way he can combine the imagination, social themes and nature of man. He had his own approach and wanted controversial narratives. His 1973 film Amarcord became a symbol of Fellini's "approach" to life, filmmaking and stage design in general.

Fellini films such as "8,", "La Dolce Vita", "Nights of Cabiria", "Juliet of the Spirits" and "Fellini Satyricon" brought him 12 Oscar nominations and a new phrase in the film aesthetic "Felinijevski".

"When I start a movie, I have a script in front of me, but I change it every day. I add to it what will happen to my imagination that day. You go on the road, you know where you will end up, but not what will happen in the meantime. "You want to be surprised," he said.

When looking for inspiration for different forms of artistic achievement, Fellini always spoke very honestly about which film helped another director.. He was once asked to choose which films he considered the best in history. He did it very easily, showing that he loves Kurosawa, Hitchcock, Kubrick and others.
