Synopsis
Fellini exposes his great attraction for the clowns and the world of the circus first recalling a childhood experience when the circus arrives nearby his home. Then he joins his crew and travel from Italy to Paris chasing the last greatest European clowns still live in these countries. He also meets Anita Ekberg trying to buy a panther in a circus.
Cinematic DNA
I Clowns, to me, is one of those films that just makes you rethink what documentary or what non-fiction can be, and how elastic it is, and how personal it can be, and how autobiographical it can be, while still being obviously a film.
