fellini expose his great attraction for the clown and the world of the circus first recall a childhood experience when the circus arrive nearby his home . then he join his crew and travel from italy to paris chase the last great european clown still live in these country . he also meet anita ekberg try to buy a panther in a circus . the overrated i clown be the weak movie of fellini that i have ever see . this documentary be an absolutely personal and boring homage to the clown and the world of the circus . maybe fellini have have a great satisfaction in this tribute since the theme be his childhood obsession while however i find it extremely painful to hear and watch after thirty minute . if this documentary be a short and it could be more watchable . my vote be four . title ( brazil ) represent o palhaços ( the clown ) .
