NBC Experiment in Television (1967–1971): Season 3, Episode 6 - Fellini: A Director's Notebook - full transcript
Fellini discusses his views of making motion pictures and his unorthodox procedures. He seeks inspiration in various out of the way places. During this film viewers go with him to the Colisseum at night, on a subway ride past Roman ruins, to the Appian Way, to a slaughterhouse, and on a visit to Marcello Mastroianni's house. Fellini also is seen in his own office interviewing a series of unusual characters seeking work or his help.
FELLINI
A DIRECTOR'S NOTEBOOK
these strange neglected constructions
were built for the film,
which I planned, but never it made.
it had to be called the "journey of mastorny".
decorations so remained, useless and be casten,
on surveying area in the environments of Rome.
to this area had to land aircraft,
of which had to leave
the hero of film... dead violoncellist.
I from this area begins the journey
on the absurd, nightmarish landscape.
not so long ago I returned
in order to again see all this.
decorations seemed me where more beautiful now,
when they are pulled down
on the part and the verdure by grass.
someone even found to itself
refuge in these reckless ruins
regards! Good morning!
You that, here do live?
yes, like.
honestly speaking,
I was a little astonished,
when revealed here
cathedral with the columns.
for me on the soul arrived
undertaking to break here camp.
- A you know, here was removed film...
- I know.
this morning we here celebrated marriage.
under the chorus of grasshoppers.
Pravda? But where newlywed?
there they.
these are not your woman,
but the woman, whom with you.
these are not your man,
but the man, whom with you.
promise to be together until lively
your feeling is to each other.
I as for long you do think here to stay?
we cannot leave now, even if we this wanted.
our machine without the wheels - we them sold.
I wrote poem on the fragments of your film.
- as it is called?
- "mastorna-blyuz".
I live in the city, that is named Mastorna,
whose reckless sleep spread on the grass;
in the city, which is useless,
in which no one wants to live,
where no one loves to work and desire to die.
no one intend to open
the wooden doors of local houses.
here prigvozhden to the earth airplane,
which is not assembled to take off.
Mastorna - city are sad and are excellent
by that beauty, that I love most of all,
since it is called by folly.
I want to die in Mastorne and to be buried
in this pasteboard church,
into which do not enter the priests.
I please attention.
for the technical reasons we forced
were to complete unforeseen landing.
unforeseen landing... Unforeseen landing...
this Mastorna, the hero of my film, violoncellist...
its journey it had to begin precisely so,
from the unforeseen landing
over the strange area... from the sleep.
thus, mister Fellini, you so did not
remove the "journey of mastorny"?
no STILL no.
but I will remove it,
because this is my most dear history.
I did everything so that my character would find flesh...
you know, sometimes in me appeared sensation, that
4 and in reality it was familiar with The the mastornoy...
but each time it again slips off from me...
- A, regards, Gasparino...
you will permit presenting to you
my assistant, signorina Boratto.
- as the matters?
- how do you do, signorina Boratto.
it is glad to be introduced to you!
here is it. This is the cemetery Of mastorny.
a kind of the cemetery of elephants
from the decorations and the properties.
you do see? The sketches of aircraft,
towers, suits of the 20th it is annual.
all this causes in me strange sensation,
something is more similar to the pangs of conscience.
as if at me look millions of eyes and await...
this is the area,
over which landed the aircraft.
I wanted the sensation
of something very alien to be,
to so that I proposed German area.
for me the atmosphere of German
is always very foreign...
A this head? What this?
this is the head of a suicide.
in film there is the episode,
in which several men end with itself,
being ejected from the window.
this jumped by head downward.
in the given moment of mastorna yet did not arrive,
but everything is prepared to its method...
let us see...
for the present i have another project...
another journey... Journey in the time...
coliseum.
in of this netherworld of Rome,
in the brief free hours
by Fellinis studied life the tramp
in the searches for the parallels between
modern Rome and Rome of the epoch Of nerona.
new film of Fellini is partially based
on "Satyricon", Roman novel I- GO of century.
authors of novel, Petroniy,
frequently came here by the nights
it scrutinized the ancient doubles
these unsteady, gloomy personalities.
- this is dust...

I decomposed it into the envelopes.
I that you with it do make?
I sell to its American tourists,
many people request it.
many people use it with the rheumatism. As soup...
you search for folklore, but here it does not exist.
they to you here narasskazhut any histories,
these pilferers, swindlers, transvestity.
curiosity of Fellini and his group, it seemed,
not was voznagrazhdeno by this night.
somebody of the inhabitants of coliseum in a friendly way
gave to them to understand that he does not be worthwhile to persist,
because the characters, whom Fellini
attempted to find, most likely were invented.
however, atmosphere were there really uncommon.
some shadows swarmed and were whispered on the angles.
this enormous labyrinth seemed those populated
by the mass of invisible essences.
- you here each evening are?
- A you- that what matter to entire this?
- what here other miracles?
- of course not, not necessarily... - in my opinion you enter not-pretty...
this young person threatened
to call the police, if we are not removed.
why to you not to go down downward,
into the city? There ask in whom you want...

A DIRECTOR'S NOTEBOOK
these strange neglected constructions
were built for the film,
which I planned, but never it made.
it had to be called the "journey of mastorny".
decorations so remained, useless and be casten,
on surveying area in the environments of Rome.
to this area had to land aircraft,
of which had to leave
the hero of film... dead violoncellist.
I from this area begins the journey
on the absurd, nightmarish landscape.
not so long ago I returned
in order to again see all this.
decorations seemed me where more beautiful now,
when they are pulled down
on the part and the verdure by grass.
someone even found to itself
refuge in these reckless ruins
regards! Good morning!
You that, here do live?
yes, like.
honestly speaking,
I was a little astonished,
when revealed here
cathedral with the columns.
for me on the soul arrived
undertaking to break here camp.
- A you know, here was removed film...
- I know.
this morning we here celebrated marriage.
under the chorus of grasshoppers.
Pravda? But where newlywed?
there they.
these are not your woman,
but the woman, whom with you.
these are not your man,
but the man, whom with you.
promise to be together until lively
your feeling is to each other.
I as for long you do think here to stay?
we cannot leave now, even if we this wanted.
our machine without the wheels - we them sold.
I wrote poem on the fragments of your film.
- as it is called?
- "mastorna-blyuz".
I live in the city, that is named Mastorna,
whose reckless sleep spread on the grass;
in the city, which is useless,
in which no one wants to live,
where no one loves to work and desire to die.
no one intend to open
the wooden doors of local houses.
here prigvozhden to the earth airplane,
which is not assembled to take off.
Mastorna - city are sad and are excellent
by that beauty, that I love most of all,
since it is called by folly.
I want to die in Mastorne and to be buried
in this pasteboard church,
into which do not enter the priests.
I please attention.
for the technical reasons we forced
were to complete unforeseen landing.
unforeseen landing... Unforeseen landing...
this Mastorna, the hero of my film, violoncellist...
its journey it had to begin precisely so,
from the unforeseen landing
over the strange area... from the sleep.
thus, mister Fellini, you so did not
remove the "journey of mastorny"?
no STILL no.
but I will remove it,
because this is my most dear history.
I did everything so that my character would find flesh...
you know, sometimes in me appeared sensation, that
4 and in reality it was familiar with The the mastornoy...
but each time it again slips off from me...
- A, regards, Gasparino...
you will permit presenting to you
my assistant, signorina Boratto.
- as the matters?
- how do you do, signorina Boratto.
it is glad to be introduced to you!
here is it. This is the cemetery Of mastorny.
a kind of the cemetery of elephants
from the decorations and the properties.
you do see? The sketches of aircraft,
towers, suits of the 20th it is annual.
all this causes in me strange sensation,
something is more similar to the pangs of conscience.
as if at me look millions of eyes and await...
this is the area,
over which landed the aircraft.
I wanted the sensation
of something very alien to be,
to so that I proposed German area.
for me the atmosphere of German
is always very foreign...
A this head? What this?
this is the head of a suicide.
in film there is the episode,
in which several men end with itself,
being ejected from the window.
this jumped by head downward.
in the given moment of mastorna yet did not arrive,
but everything is prepared to its method...
let us see...
for the present i have another project...
another journey... Journey in the time...
coliseum.
in of this netherworld of Rome,
in the brief free hours
by Fellinis studied life the tramp
in the searches for the parallels between
modern Rome and Rome of the epoch Of nerona.
new film of Fellini is partially based
on "Satyricon", Roman novel I- GO of century.
authors of novel, Petroniy,
frequently came here by the nights
it scrutinized the ancient doubles
these unsteady, gloomy personalities.
- this is dust...
- in the English... In the English...
in the English. This is dust... From the coliseum.
I decomposed it into the envelopes.
I that you with it do make?
I sell to its American tourists,
many people request it.
many people use it with the rheumatism. As soup...
you search for folklore, but here it does not exist.
they to you here narasskazhut any histories,
these pilferers, swindlers, transvestity.
curiosity of Fellini and his group, it seemed,
not was voznagrazhdeno by this night.
somebody of the inhabitants of coliseum in a friendly way
gave to them to understand that he does not be worthwhile to persist,
because the characters, whom Fellini
attempted to find, most likely were invented.
however, atmosphere were there really uncommon.
some shadows swarmed and were whispered on the angles.
this enormous labyrinth seemed those populated
by the mass of invisible essences.
- you here each evening are?
- A you- that what matter to entire this?
- what here other miracles?
- of course not, not necessarily... - in my opinion you enter not-pretty...
this young person threatened
to call the police, if we are not removed.
why to you not to go down downward,
into the city? There ask in whom you want...
this night peace protects its particular life
meet into the bayonets of any stranger.
31, go here! Here foolish, A?!
why me to remove? What to you
it is must? Better leave me...

direct objective on us?

However, yes do not hide!

its everyone so calls,
because it always walks with the bag
after the arms as...
- Grandfather Frost.
- Santa -Klaus.
it comes here with the gifts. There are
many good things for the paupers,
lonely,
which pass the night here and there,
under the bridges... in the grottos.
In caves.
- it does always go in the coliseum?
- yes. It comes...
bring compassion...
compassion, which here never
it was conducted never...
it brings compassion into these places,
where compassion never reached.
it knew well, this person with the bag,
when I was Cabiria in the picture.
you do remember the film of the "nights of Cabiria"?
I was also poor woman,
who despaired herself and lonely.
I met man with the bag.
but this scene from the film was cut out.
I do not know, why...
