The White Sheik

Federico Fellini - 1952
Strangely similar to The Grunde film 'The Strabe' at times. Clearly a satire on a certain kind of values, it is at once silly but also poignant. Quite an affectionate film.
It is the earliest Fellini I have seen, and it is pretty straight. The direction is nicely done, if not too innovative, as I have seen before on early Fellini.
