An explanation of neorealism and an insight to the films of Federico Fellini - a personal understanding. In this essay, I would like to analyse the genre of neorealism, with particular reference to the films of Federico Fellini. This may seam an odd combination, the association of neorealism to Rossellini, Visconti, or Desica may seem more appropriate, but I hope to show that Fellini used all that was special pioneered in the pure neorealist years of 1943 to 1951, and extended it with a very personal new vision. His antecedents were impressive, his collaboration with Rossellini in 'Roma, Citta Aperta' (1945), and scripting and directing parts of 'Paisan' (1946), and 'The Miracle' (1947) has made Fellini a significant figure in the movement called Italian neoralism, and it is here I would like to begin. Any understanding of the neorealist movement must be based upon an understanding of what happened in Italy...
