Peacock

Cinema's most flamboyant dreamer, drunk on spectacle and self.

Fellini was a supreme visual showman who turned his own fantasies, desires, and obsessions into gloriously extravagant films — 8½ is literally a movie about his own ego and creative vanity. He thrived on attention, surrounded himself with larger-than-life characters, and crafted a cinematic universe so distinctly theatrical and ornate that it gave rise to the adjective 'Felliniesque.' Like a peacock, he was fully aware of his own dazzling plumage and spread it shamelessly for the world to admire.
