Much has been said about Federico Fellini, but there is one chapter that has yet to be fully explored: the last decade of his life and his art. In the 1980s and 90s, the film industry celebrated him but struggled to sustain his visions. The Maestro never ceased to create and to fight to continue expressing himself. Sharing his dreams and his extraordinary energy were the exceptional companions on his journey: Roberto Benigni, Martin Scorsese, Nicola Piovani, Vincenzo Mollica, Milo Manara and his inseparable secretary Fiammetta Profili. Ultimo Fellini reveals the man behind the icon through three years of research, private archives and unpublished repertories, starting with the valuable materials collected by Vincenzo Mollica. An intimate, authentic and vibrant portrait of a genius who never stopped bringing us stories and thoughts destined to shine forever.

Director's Statement

The revelation came one day when, together with Vincenzo’s daughter Caterina Mollica, we found a cabinet with dozens and dozens of cassettes he filmed, which documented interviews, festivals and backstage footage of the last ten years of Federico Fellini’s life. Only a very few minutes of video clips had ever been publicly broadcast.
