Aldouby employs an innovative pictorial approach that allows her to uncover a wealth of visual evocations overlooked by Fellini scholars over the years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFederico Fellini: Painting in Film, Painting on Film\u003c\/em\u003e sheds light on the intertextual links between Fellini’s films and the works of various artists, from Velazquez to Francis Bacon, by identifying references to specific paintings in his films.
