Where Did Fellini Keep His Money?

The maestro, director Federico Fellini, was born on January 20, 1920, in Rimini, and grew up to define Italian cinema with movies that included La Strada, La Dolce Vita, 8 1/2, Roma, Amarcord, Juliet of the Spirits, and Satyricon.

He was fascinated by dreams; in the early 1960s he studied Carl Jung’s writings.

Here’s a Fellini mini-movie you probably have never seen, his delightful commercial for the Bank of Rome, made in 1991, two years before he died. It has a man, a woman, danger, dreams and a happy ending… everything you’d expect from a master.
