Fellini borrows surreal visions from Cardonas, 28 December 1998
8/10
Author: Kurt Drummond Brown from Brea, Ca.

This noble effort by Fellini reveals that one of his unspoken influences in film was no doubt Rene Cardonas. Orchestra Rehearsal reveals chaotic visions of a society crumbling within the confines of destruction and apathy. It appears obvious that Fellini borrowed the protaga-symbolism that Rene Cardonas used in his film "Santa Claus," the only difference being Cardonas delivered a clear and enlightening vision. Fellini came close, but there is only one Rene Cardonas.
