"F* Is For FELLINI": And The Ship Sails On
E La Nave Va (And The Ship Sails On) (1983)
With Freddie Jones, Barbara Jefford, Victor Poletti, Peter Cellier, Pina Bausch
In Italian with English subtitles
In Fellini’s
last great film in the twilight of his career, under a paper moon and a cardboard
sea (on an intentionally artificial set at Cinecittà in Rome, designed by Dante
Ferretti and decorated by Francesca Lo Schiavo and Massimo Tavazzi), an
eccentric and exotic group of elite aristocrats and company set out on a luxury
oceanliner, to scatter the ashes of the recently departed world-famous opera
diva Tetua. Obliviously unaware, the illustrious entourage has no idea that it
is the eve of World War I, and along the way the ship will need to tend to a
rescue mission. Our photo-journalist guide along the way, who speaks to us
directly and reminds us that one man’s priorities are not every man’s, is Orlando
(Freddie Fields), whose camera is as important a character as any of the
Royals surrounding it.
WINNER: Italian Syndicate of Film Journalists Best Director, Best Production
Design, Best Cinematography, Best Costume Design, Best Special Effects
“And The Ship Sails On floats serenely above the realities of ordinary movies—
not to deny the validity of those realities but to expand the imagination”
