1987 film by Italian directorFederico Fellini .Plot
Once again making a movie about making a movie, this film, too, enables Fellini to blur the line between documentary and fiction. Fellini,
Anita Ekberg andMarcello Mastroianni appear as themselves as a (fictional) Japanese journalist arrives on the set to interview the cast. The camera takes the viewer behind the scenes as the set is prepared for a scene depicting a character based on the young Fellini, a journalist in Fascist Italy about to interview a local starlet. Seamlessly, the illusion takes over the realities of moviemaking, and the viewer is thrown into the scene itself. But only for a short while; for the rest of the film, Fellini and his assistant directorMaurizio Mein scramble to recruit the right cast and build the set for an adaptation of Kafka’s "Amerika" (which adaptation is fictitious - Fellini was never making the film). Along the way viewers are treated to disgruntled actors who failed their auditions, bomb threats, a visit to Anita Ekberg’s house where she and Marcello Mastroianni re-live their "La dolce vita " scenes, an inconvenient thunderstorm, and arguments among the crew.External links
