- Synopsis:
- "I Clowns (The Clowns)" has been revered by Fellini enthusiasts since its release as among the Maestro's finest works - one in a register all its own. The film plays out in dazzling colour and in episodic cascade: as the circus rolls into town, and the big-tent is erected, the clowns execute their acts with feverish bravado. It's all true - and yet not a "documentary" per se; rather, something inbetween a portrayal of gags-at-play and of all that makes the spark for childhood inspiration ignite into creative virtuosity.
