Our take

What gems hide in the shadow of monuments? Fellini’s biggest films are so famous that it’s tragically easy for his smaller wonders to escape notice. The Clowns is an off-the-beaten-path fan favorite, an explosion of documentary, fantasy, and music, where the maestro’s imagination flowers!
