Cinema is an old whore, like circus and variety, who knows how to give many kinds of pleasure. Besides, you cant teach old fleas new dogs. – Federico Fellini
Going to the cinema is like returning to the womb; you sit there, still and meditative in the darkness, waiting for life to appear on the screen. – Federico Fellini

The making of a picture ought surely to be a rather fascinating adventure.
