Jung and Federico Fellini
Italian film director Federico Fellini (1920�1993), winner of four Best Foreign Film Oscars, first read Jung in 1961. Many of his famous cinematic creations, particularly 8 1/2 (adapted as the Broadway musical and film Nine) were deeply influenced by Jung�s concepts of the archetype and collective unconscious. They are a unique combination of memory, dreams, and fantasy. From 1960 through 1990, Fellini recorded and illustrated his dreams every morning after waking, referring to it as his �night work.� After Fellini�s death, the book was locked in a bank vault for fourteen years until his heirs agreed to publish it.
