12 - Nino Rota - 8½ - La passerella d’addio

A film that played with the line between fantasy and reality, was unanimously praised by fans and critics as Fellini’s magnum opus. One of the greatest films of all time, along with La Dolce Vita and Amarcord, its essence is captured in the soundtrack of Nino Rota, one of Italy’s most prolific and acclaimed composers. Rota is perhaps most widely known, however, for his soundtrack to Francis Ford Coppola’s first two Godfather films.
