Nothing is real. Mr. Fellini, who now works exclusively within a studio, creates everything himself. The studio is the locus of his interior world. It's not for him to go on location to shoot a tree or a sky when he can choose the sort of tree or sky he wants from the scenic designer. Never for a moment does he ask us to believe that any tree or sky ever looked this way, only to understand that this is how he feels about them.
Vincent Canby, The New York Times, 12.02.1977
