Abstract:

When creating surreal scenes in his film, Fellini not only integrated them with reality, but also deliberately maintained their independence, realizing an opposition to reality. In some semi-autobiographical films, the outdoors were real cities, while the indoors were surreal settings constructed in studios. In films depicting real places, he infused everyday environments with unique characteristics by introducing surreal elements. Meanwhile, in films portraying dreamscapes, real-world details occasionally made appearances. Some scenes were shaped into circus or theater style spaces with strong theatrical effects. Hence he created a " defamiliarization effect" in the scene, reminding the audience of the differences between these spaces and reality. It was through these techniques that Fellini maintained sufficient tension between the fusion and juxtaposition of reality and the surreal world.

Key words: Fellini, surreal scenes, juxtaposition, tension
