Federico F.

Federico F. is a semi-fictional novel that chronicles the last nine months of Italian film director Federico Fellini’s life, from January to October 1993. Angelucci reveals how creatively Fellini treated personal events, as if they were screenplay ideas to be developed. Fellini recreated reality according to his cinematic vision, of translating events into personalized memories, and memories into films. Angelucci features several reflections by Fellini on his work, all of them proving that the director considered his films as personal creations, coalitions of external facts and private memories harmonized through his imagination. In Federico F., Angelucci employs these same techniques as he tells the story of Fellini’s final months.
