But the extent of that devotion has become fully evident only now, with the publication of "Il Libro dei Sogni" -- "The Book of Dreams." These sketches, mostly done with variously colored felt-tip pens, are a reminder that Fellini came to Rome in 1939 to study law but instead spent two years as a cartoonist and writer for a satirical fortnightly.](http://www.latimes.com/media/thumbnails/story/2008-06/39666903-06115643.gif "ANYONE familiar with the films of Federico Fellini knows that he gave importance to dreams.

'La Dolce Vita'
![To have seen Federico Fellini's "La Dolce Vita" when it opened in the U.S. in 1961 as a graduate school dropout turned erstwhile construction worker with a love of movies and a secret desire to review them was an unforgettable, totally tantalizing experience. I could never have guessed that, when it was re-released — oddly, by American International Pictures, purveyors of drive-in movies for teens — in a surprisingly painstakingly dubbed version five years later, that it would fall to me to review it in The Times. So careful was the dubbing process that Fellini's characters seemed more rounded, and his vast, captivating fresco of contemporary society acquired more depth. (Or maybe it was just that I was five years older and a tad more mature).](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2004-04/12437567.jpg "To have seen Federico Fellini's "La Dolce Vita\" when it opened in the U.S. in 1961 as a graduate school dropout turned erstwhile construction worker with a love of movies and a secret desire to review them was an unforgettable, totally tantalizing experience.
