CHOICE Review
Arguing that Fellini is postmodern, not self-indulgent, the essays in this collection include reprints of the editors' influential work--Burke's "Fellini: Reality/Representation/Signification" and Waller's "Whose Dolce Vita Is This, Anyway?"--and nine new studies. Helen Stoddart finds Fellini frustrated in his desire to converge the mechanics of cinema and the live performance of the circus, and William Van Watson takes a Lacanian approach to Fellini's subordination of narrativity to the individual image. Other contributors explore issues raised in The White Sheik, Toby Dammit, Amarcord, Ginger and Fred, Intervista, and The Voice of the Moon. These theory-based studies should serve upper-division undergraduates through faculty, but Peter Bondanella's The Films of Federico Fellini (CH, Oct'02) remains a more useful introduction. M.
