Piuttosto bene

“Fellini was, for me, a great source of inspiration. La Strada and 8 ½ were magnificent – but I like all of them. Each movie is its own world; I love the characters, the atmosphere and the intangible je ne sais quoi that emanates from every one.”

“I met him a second time in ‘93. On a Friday night he was in the hospital and I went with Tonino delli Colli, whom I met years before that time at Cinecitta. Only a small group of people was allowed in to see him. Fellini was in a wheelchair between two beds. There was a little table in front of him. And I sat in front of him and I held his hands. He was telling me how sad he was with the state of cinema. He used to have a coffee outside for breakfast and students would come up and talk to him every morning about cinema and then fewer and fewer came over the years and they weren’t talking about cinema anymore. Two days later he went into a coma and he died two weeks later.”

“I did a whole series of lithographs based on the last scenes in 8 ½,” Lynch said.
