Influence and legacy
A unique combination of memory, dreams, fantasy, and desire, Fellini's films are deeply personal visions of society, often portraying people at their most bizarre. The term "Felliniesque" is used to describe any scene in which a hallucinatory image invades an otherwise ordinary situation. Important contemporary filmmakers such as Woody Allen, David Lynch, David Cronenberg, Stanley Kubrick, Martin Scorsese, [12] Tim Burton,[13] Pedro Almodovar,[14] Terry Gilliam[15] and Emir Kusturica[16] have all cited Fellini's influence on their work.
Polish director, Wojciech Has (1925-2000), whose two major films, The Saragossa Manuscript (1965) and The Hour-Glass Sanatorium (1973) are outstanding examples of modernist fantasies, has often been compared to Fellini for the sheer "luxuriance of his images" (Gilbert Guez in Le Figaro).
In 2001, singer Fish released an album titled Fellini Days, taking inspiration for the lyrics and music from the works of Felliniposted 140 days ago
