Paper Summary:
This paper will discuss the work of a director who is generally acknowledged to be one of the great auteurs of modern cinema, Federico Fellini. It will be argued that his film "8 +" (1963) produces meaning through the tension between the director's personality and the material with which he is working; one of the defining elements of "auteurist" cinema. This paper will demonstrate that what renders "8 +" a work of an auteur is the extent to which Fellini mines the familiar pattern of self-reference - a signature of Fellini as auteur - to such a degree as to make the exploration of radical subjectivity into an objective statement about the role of the director as auteur and his function within the filmic text.More papers on Fellini's "8 +":
