    Fellini was a Brazilian post-punk band formed in São Paulo City, São Paulo, in 1984. It consisted of Cadão Volpato, Jair Marcos, Ricardo Salvagni, and former Voluntários da Pátria and Smack member Thomas Pappon. One of the most influent bands of the Brazilian underground post-punk scene of the mid-1980s, they were known for their sonority that mixed post-punk with other genres such as MPB, New Wave and samba rock, thus having a unique, almost non-descript musical style. Fellini was first disestablished in 1990, but re-established in 2001 and ending once more in 2010.

Examples of Fellini in a Sentence

  1. Stanley Kubrick:

    I believe Bergman, De Sica, and Fellini are the only three filmmakers in the world who are not just artistic opportunists. By this I mean they don't just sit and wait for a good story to come along and then make it. They have a point of view which is expressed over and over and over again in their films, and they themselves write or have original material written for them.
