# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born in 1920, Fellini started as a screenwriter before directing I Vitelloni in 1953, then La Strada in 1954—early work that mixed realism with something stranger. La Dolce Vita took the Palme d'Or in 1960 and made him famous for capturing Rome's hollow glamour. 8½ followed in 1963, a spiral into a director's creative paralysis that Sight & Sound would later call the tenth-greatest film ever made. He kept going—Amarcord, Fellini Satyricon, Casanova—piling up four competitive Oscars (a record in the foreign-language category) and another seventeen nominations. By the time the Academy gave him the lifetime achievement award in 1993, critics had placed him second in their poll of all-time directors. He died eight months later, leaving a filmography no one's quite matched for blending the sacred and the sleazy.
