Four Films From Fellini: La Dolce Vita, I Vitelloni, 8 1/2, Giulietta Degli Spiriti [DVD]

5 plus star. So often classics may be of poor quality; this is good.It tells you, [in Italian] that it has been restored AND very well too.It's evidently a multi cooperation. It's Fellini and on that basis you'lleither buy or not. Maybe for cineastes but hey try it; these 4 are classics.Delivery was prime next day.Have to say I've only played part of Dolce Vita couldn't wait fresh from post.On that basis it's great. Just look at the cast! EVEN Lex Barker [of Tarzan!]You'll even hear Arrividerci Roma - the original.It's, of course |Italian sub titled] . It's, of course, B/W.|It's Totalscope? which means OK for 16/9 with a little black bandingtop and bottom.

Saw them when they were new at the Arts Cinema in Cambridge, never forgot them. Good to have them on the shelf.

The films are all classics. That's why I bought them. But, for some reason, the disc for 8 1/2 displays only the first line of the subtitles on each frame, so the disc is useless to any non-Italian speaker. The print for 8 1/2 also is dull. These failings put me in mind of bootleg recordings. The print of La Dolce Vita, on the other hand, is excellent in quality and subtitling. Unless the 8 1/2 disc is corrected and replaced, I would recommend avoiding this issue.

Its ages since i last looked at a film by Federico Fellini. Has the old master lost his charm or visual flair, I wondered?Well, this reasonably-priced box set says 'No'.La Dolce Vita still resonates, especially in our world now obsessed with 'celebrity' while the moving account in Giulietta Degli Spiriti of a woman struggling with her husband's infidelity is as powerful as ever.The star of the show, however, is 81/2. This is Fellini's masterpiece, still audacious, hugely inventive and often very funny.Viva Fellini!

Thank you for let purchase this collection it was a very good price and quality my best rewards the costumer

To see these four films is to be given a deeper understanding of how film has developed over the last fifty years but also to have a sense of what has been lost.

'La Dolce Vita' and '8.5' are probably the better known of the four but don't let that put you off. You can never have too much Fellini in your DVD collection.

The four box set of Fellini films was excellent value and an absolute must for any Fellini fans, I would highly recommend.
