- Synopsis
- Profoundly in love with life, Fellini went through his existence always seeking its sense. The documentary investigates in depth his passion for what he defined as “mystery”, the esoteric, the unseen world in a relentless pursuit of other possibilities, other dimensions, other travels and of everything that can make spirit and mind fly. These aspects, present throughout all his cinematography, have been subject of investigation by the great Jungian psychoanalyst Ernst Bernhard, who not only raveled him the secrets of Subconscious, but he also showed him a whole new vision of the world through Tarot reading and I Ching consultation. However, it will be the encounter with Gustavo Rol, known for “Giulietta degli Spiriti”, that, thanks to his experiments, will prove him that other dimensions really exist and there is no end to the travel of human beings. A lot of voices will tell about the magic world of Fellini, from the tarot reader that Fellini always consulted to Terry Gilliam, from Giuditta Miscioscia, Gustavo Rol’s friend, to the director Damien Chazelle, from Fellini’s collaborators and dearest friends to Oscar winners’ directors such as William Friedkin.
