Much has been told about Federico Fellini, but one chapter remains largely unexplored. It is the final decade of his life and artistic career. During the 1980s and 1990s, the film industry celebrated him while struggling to support his visions. The Maestro never stopped creating and fought to continue expressing himself. Sharing his dreams and extraordinary energy were exceptional companions: 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 previously unseen footage, beginning with the precious materials of Vincenzo Mollica.

With The Father, writer-director Florian Zeller- who wrote and developed the play upon which the film is based- pulls no punches as he confidently makes every effort to put the audience in the mind of someone whose grip on reality has all but vanished. It’s a dazzling testament to Zeller’s abilities as a director as he makes his first transition from stage to film appear as if he’s been working behind a camera his entire career. The dialogue he fashions with co-writer Christopher Hampton, along with the work of production designers Peter Francis and Cathy Featherstone, collectively makes the downward spiral of dementia startlingly tangible, doing so in a way that can be comprehended by everyone except the person it directly affects.
