Quotes
[last lines]
Federico Fellini: The film should end here. In fact, it ends here, and I hear the words of an old producer of mine. "What? Without the faintest hope, or ray of sunshine? Give me a ray of sunshine" he would beg at the end of each film. A ray of sunshine? Well, let's try.

a magic, nostalgic film

Intervista is one of the best films I've ever seen. The strong sense in all Fellini films that reality is like a big, sad circus is even stronger in this film because fact and fiction, past and present become so confused. The fictitious carnival appears to be reality. And isn't that maybe quite a realistic view?

There is not only the usual sense of nostalgia: because the film looks back at decades of Fellini nostalgia, the nostalgia is double. Who can watch the older Anita and Marcello looking back at La Dolce Vita with dry eyes? The only possible critic could be that the film is, like all Fellini movies, little coherent, but then, isn't that as well like life itself?

Intervista maybe isn't the most famous Fellini films, it certainly is one of the better ones and with that one of the best films in cinematographic history.
