Scorsese On Fellini On Charlie Rose # 2

[@dbnovaro]

i always liked the passion that martin gives on his words when he speaks on filmmaking and film in general.

[@johnhanley9946]

81/2 seems to me a progression in film from what Orson Welles did in Citizen Kane. Welles did it by describing the external events, but Felini did it within the internal life if the main character Guido.

[@kimberlymurray5293]

Fellini movies used to show on t.v. all the time on late night stations. They are so weird and fun. What a great childhood I had!

[@WatersStillRunDeep]

Suso Cecchi d'Amico was one of the most prolific writers in European film. She wrote over 100 screenplays beginning in 1947, including The Bicycle Thief, most of Visconti's films, and films for Antonioni, Fellini and other great Italians directors.

[@GenesisProgressive72]

I went through Cecchi d'Amico's filmography and I couldn't find a single screenplay she wrote for Fellini

[@arnavverma4507]

I though Cesare Zvattini wrote Bicycle thieves

[@amitaly2812]

Thanks for posting this interview. Extremely interesting. And a nice tribute to a genius, Federico Fellini.

[@wolfstar675]

I love directors who are real film lovers like Tarantino, Speilberg and Scorsese of course.

[@ShadowindLUKE]

Sometimes they are better film lovers than directors. I personally like Tarantino's film pre -Django, Scorsese's Casino but many people question the authenticity. Their art might not be really authentic but their love for film sure is

[@birsay123]

Friedkin too.

[@billfisher9238]

and Spielberg

[@nilsmartinsson5115]

Bergman, Kurosawa and Bergman, all starts there.

[@MaxV11]

Italy doesn't deserve Fellini. Italy forgot and literally killed him. Once Benigni said, half joking, that we were in need of a tax for allowing Fellini to work again, and he was fucking right. This country is culturally guilty of have killed one of the greatest masters of all time, a true pure genius. My admiration for Scorsese is immense, after this interview I was in tears.

[@GenesisProgressive72]

Strongly disagree. He was and still is broadly beloved and admired in Italy.

[@MaxV11]

@@GenesisProgressive72 I'm sorry but the young generations doesn't even know who Fellini is in Italy, his films disappeared from television and, trust me, he's mostly forgotten. And this breaks my heart.

[@Johnconno]

Don't forget what they did to Pasolini. 😈

[@walter_the_danger]

@@MaxV11 Seriously, shut up. You don't know what you're talking about. Their ignorance has nothing to do with Fellini, the average moviegoer doesn't know anything about anyone these days. Those who truly love cinema are perfectly aware of who Fellini was.

[@samurai1539]

Thank you for posting this! Excellent, insightful interview. Scorsese really illuminates what makes these films so special.

[@bluefalconcrest5632]

The "Nights of Cabiria" has such a magnet that you can't stop watching it. Somehow Fellini shows the poorest parts of Italy and by his magic on cinematography it looks beautiful, weird but true.

[@dejabu24]

I have almost all of the Fellini's films and he was excellent

[@ashuupadhyay9255]

where can I find it online?

[@ppuh6tfrz646]

Really?? I've seen over 20 films of his films and most of them are either mediocre or shit. He's the most over-rated film-maker I can think of.

[@michaelcelani8325]

[@ravishingravi]

Great interview. Really appreciate it.

[@maryanneevans9563]

I recently saw La Strada and fell in love with that movie. It's in my top 10.

[@denissweet6639]

Gabriel Katz asked (around 3 years ago) in this comment section, who Martin was talking about at 3:34? I'm trying to reply directly to that post but I can't seem to figure out how to do that. Sorry. But the answer is Suso Cecchi D'Amico (she has writing credits on The Bicycles Thieves, The Leopard, and many, many others). She worked with almost all of the great Italian directors including Antonioni, Rosi, and Zeffirelli. She died in 2010 and I was very sad at her passing because I felt she never got the acclaim and attention she deserved. I was (at the time) hoping that she would receive an Honorary Oscar for Lifetime Achievement or something like that but she didn't win that kind of acclaim in America for her work. She was the recipient of a Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement in 1994 from the Venice Film Festival and the David di Donatello Award for Lifetime Achievement in 1980. She will be greatly missed.

[@sterlist]

old comments had a charm to em

[@PinkyPuff69]

"La Strada" and "Nights of Cabiria" are two favorites of mine. Very personal, sweet, sentimental, hilarious and sad. Fellini's wife, Giulietta Massina, was brilliant in her expressions and physical outpouring of emotion....a Charlie Chaplin in her own way.

[@loganemmert1392]

Scorsese always has the best insights into films and filmmakers.

[@meropale]

The music in 8 1/2 is great. The harem scene is very funny.

[@hawie2]

that harem scene was fantablieastic

[@yallowrosa]

Martin may be the present greatest leaving director however, his differences with Fellini are very strong Fellini was soft, light, allusive, indirect, nonviolent, ironic Scorsese's style is the opposite: heavy, violent, direct, hard,

[@Nicolasvergarai]

Felllini light? Man, Fellini images where beyond the grasp of rational understanding, but somehow they moved us and revealed something hidden from our inner self.

[@somethingaboutthemovies5116]

This is always exciting.

[@downrodeo2112]

I got 8 1/2 on blu ray, oh my god

[@pixiesgabe]

anybody know at around 3:34 scorsese mentions somebody along the lines of "susie checo domingo" (obviously spelled wrong), who is that? any info would help

[@duckandginger5236]

Suso Cecchi d'Amico

[@Not_So_Slim_Shady]

The first time I watched 8 1/2 I was so confused and didn't get it. But I could tell there was something amazing in there. The second time I watched it I really liked it and understood what was happening more but there were definitely gaps. The third time it clicked and now I fucking love this movie.

[@steveneardley7541]

I got 8 1/2 on first viewing. The one that escaped me was La Dolce Vita. Every time I see it, it seems like a totally different movie. I love Amarcord especially, because the school scenes were exactly like my own experience going to elementary school in Italy. I was in Ancona, and Fellini was raised in Rimini, just a little way up the coast.

[@yallowrosa]

Martin is "nearly" better as a movie critic, rather than a film director ...

Oopss!! They said that F. Felllini died in 1973... I guess they meant 1993 :)

[@MahmoudOscarMD]

sam moons aged 73

[@explosionnoiseband]

yeah, they said he died being 73 years old. not in 1973.

[@michaelcelani8325]

@@explosionnoiseband September 1993 . I can't remember the day. I was just starting dating an Italian girl from Brazil. that is how I remember. Fellini was born in 1920. Orson Welles was born in 1915. Artists from a similar time.When they are born makes a difference.

Scorcese is a great director, BUT 85% of his movies are filled with blood, bruatity, killing etc. This guy must be sick in the head.

[@juancpgo]

+Michael Haller You must be an idiot for not really seeing beyond that.. “filled” is quite an exaggeration, there is so much in his movies beyond blood. When he was violent he meant to be honest about what he was talking about in the film. There is a reason.

[@ShadowindLUKE]

Think about the environment he grew up in. His environment influenced him

[@benstein2781]

You have seen very little of his body of work if you think it is mostly violence & profanity.

[@michaelcelani8325]

@@benstein2781 Get out of here. ! Violence and threat of violence permeates his work. It is pathetic to use blood and guts as the main crutch for a film maker. Really sad.
