Synopsis:
In this film, which simultaneously parodies documentary film techniques and film critics, Fellini incorporated his own fascination with clowns and circuses. In the first part Fellini gives a nostalgic autobiographical view of his youthful fascination with the circus and in the second part he steps into the film himself in order to interview some famous clowns.
