Firm binding, clean inside copy. Fine DJ. OVERSIZE! No priority/international, except by arrangement. "While visiting Rome, world-renowned photographer Gregory Crewdson was invited to tour the legendary film studio Cinecitt , where directors such as Federico Fellini and Roberto Rossellini shot their iconic works. He found the elaborate film sets fallen into ruin and, captivated by their beauty, chose them as the subject of his next body of work.Although his earlier series were characterised by large production crews, custom-built soundstages and hired actors, Crewdson returned to Rome with only a small team to create the haunting black-and-white portraits of deteriorating buildings and deserted streets that are flawlessly reproduced in this book. Admirers of Crewdson's work will find these new photographs are a bold departure, which yet convey the dramatic subtext and charged emotions that characterise his earlier works." - Publisher.. 1st.

This extremely well-preserved graphic novel marries the vision of Italian film director Federico Fellini with the artistry of Milo Manara. There are no internal markings and the pages are bright and clean. The soft paper cover is in Near Fine condition with only a few minor bumps to edges which are barely visible. There are 8-10 pages of text accompanying the graphic novel that include some of Fellini's memories of making movies and his collaboration with Milo Manara, along with some of the editor's and artist's reflections about Mr. Fellini.This dreamlike story is described as, "A beautiful woman falls into a pond chasing Fellini's windblown hat. Under the water's surface is an eerie world of preserved shipwrecks and planewrecks, a resting place for ghostly references to Fellini's films. Inside a submerged seaweed-encrusted 747 the woman is astonished to find Fellini himself. He sends her off with a very handsomely drawn Marcello Mastroianni - Fellini's alter ego - to make a movie of unknown content. They stop in Los Angeles and finally reach a grand hotel on the Mexican coast where magical transformations abound." --- Google BooksAttention: There are numerous images of a semi-erotic nature depicting the characters without their clothes although they are not engaged in any sexual behavior.
