   Hollywood films, it would be the Italians who made me love the movies. It   
   started with Michelangelo Antonioni's L'Avventura when I was a teenager and   
   continues to this day.    
   Along the way I discovered Federico Fellini and got lost in a tragic and   
   comedic universe that didn't seem to have a beginning or an end. When I hit a   
   wall in terms of watching films, I always go back to the Italians and in this   
   case Fellini and one of    
   my favorite films of all time.

   > The story surrounds a writer for a gossip magazine – this film introduced   
   the term “paparazzi” – and his week of wonders among the rich, famous,   
   and crowds of wannabes, stalking Rome's nightlife. It concerns itself with   
   fame although with    
   Fellini there is always a dark shadow waiting to spread across the soul of the   
   film. This is essential viewing and brilliant stuff. This is why I go to the   
   movies.

   Pinelli, Brunello Rondi, and Pier Paolo Pasolini. Cinematography by Otello   
   Martelli with music by Nino Rota. Starring Marcello Mastroianni, Anita Ekberg,   
   Anouk Aimée, Yvonne
