Mastorna: The Film Fellini Didn't Make","description":"\u003cp\u003eFederico Fellini's script for perhaps the most famous unmade film in Italian cinema, \u003ci\u003eThe Journey of G. Mastorna\u003c\/i\u003e (1965\/6), is published here for the first time in full English translation. It offers the reader a remarkable insight into Fellini's creative process and his fascination with human mortality and the great mystery of death. Written in collaboration with Dino Buzzati, Brunello Rondi, and Bernardino Zapponi, the project was ultimately abandoned for a number of reasons, including Fellini's near death, although it continued to inhabit his creative imagination and the landscape of his films for the rest of his career. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarcus Perryman has written two supporting essays which discuss the reasons why the film was never made, compare it to the two other films in the trilogy \u003ci\u003eLa Dolce Vita\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003e81\/2\u003c\/i\u003e, and analyze the script in the light of \u003ci\u003eIt's a Wonderful Life\u003c\/i\u003e and Fredric Brown's sci-fi novel \u003ci\u003eWhat Mad Universe\u003c\/i\u003e. In doing so he opens up an entire world of connections to Fellini's other films, writers and collaborators. It should be essential reading for students and academics studying Fellini's work. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFederico Fellini is considered to be one of Italy's greatest modern film directors. He began his career working as a script writer for Roberto Rossellini but later, as a director, developed his own striking cinematic style, which blended memories, dreams, and fantasy and explored themes such as redemption, faith, and decadence. During his forty-year career he won five academy awards. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarcus Perryman is the co-editor and co-translator with the distinguished British poet Peter Robinson of \u003ci\u003eThe Selected Poetry and Prose of Vittorio Sereni\u003c\/i\u003e (Chicago University Press, 2006). He translated \u003ci\u003eOrson Welles in Italy\u003c\/i\u003e by Alberto Anile (Indiana University Press, 2013) and advised on the Italian translation of Naomi Klein's \u003ci\u003eNo logo\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-2560913\"\u003eFederico Fellini\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berghahn Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 226\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.62d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781782382300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1782382305\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-PER\"\u003ePerforming Arts\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-PER004030\"\u003eFilm | History \u0026amp; Criticism\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-DRA\"\u003eDrama\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-DRA000000\"\u003eGeneral\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Berghahn Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44538612809965,"sku":"9781782382300","price":23.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_1e5450ca-f68f-46e7-8445-f63f3c1ef376.jpg?v=1701457677","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/es\/products\/the-journey-of-g-mastorna-the-film-fellini-didnt-make-9781782382300","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
