L'ultima sequenza (The Lost Ending)

by Mario Sesti

Italy 2003; 52 min.

Some remember it, some others don't. The photographs exist, the sequence has been shot. It should have been edited as the last sequence of Fellini's 8 1/2, but eventually the Maestro chose the enchanting liveliness of the Circus, and the train sequence is nowhere to be found. A Mistery.
50 minutes of an intriguing insight into the making of a masterpiece, that received the Oscar Award for Best Foreign Film in 1963, with a live Fellini never heard or seen before.
