...color. A spoonful of Italian sugar makes the thriller go down so easy that one wonders whether the ghost of Federico Fellini wasn't smiling on this one. Why not? Thomas Ripley isn't really all that different from Fellini's heroines: like, say, Giulietta Masina in Nights of Cabiria. They are just two lost idealists looking up at the beautiful world they can't quite enter themselves. But while Masina laughs, Ripley rends. The difference is heartbreaking...

Either way, I have lots of company. Thanks in no small part to the commercial opportunities opened up by the VCR and the CD player, this decade has seen a flood of previously unreleased, unfinished or reworked art. Directors' cuts of movies from Nights of Cabiria to Natural Born Killers restore lost scenes; boxed sets of just about any recording artist you can think of--Why not the Zombies?--disgorge hours of studio outtakes. These have also been boom times for posthumous publication, with recent "new" work by Louisa May Alcott and Margaret Mitchell; next year Ernest Hemingway will give...

...join a traveling circus. He was sent home within a few days, but his heart stayed there. In a Fellini film, life is a circus without surcease. Come inside, children of all ages, where (in Amarcord) the snowflakes are as fat as pancakes, where (in The Nights of Cabiria, 1957) streetwalkers dance like schoolgirls and (in Juliet of the Spirits (1965), God may be waiting for you in the attic...

Early or late, prime or decadent, these films are unmistakably those of an Italian male of the late 20th century. Italian, yes, but also universal. No European filmmaker has been imitated so flatteringly on Broadway (Cabiria and 8 1/2 both found their way to the musical stage) and in Hollywood (Paul Mazursky, Bob Fosse and Woody Allen have all done their own confessional glosses on 8 1/2). Male, yes, but with a stethoscope auditing the heart of a woman. La Strada, Cabiria, Juliet and Ginger and Fred (1983) are four sympathetic diagnoses of vital women used by weak men. They...
