    “Fellini is a patron saint, like Bunuel, Roy Anderson, Jodorowsky,” mentioned the 59-year-old Mexico Metropolis-born director of The Revenant.
    “There isn’t a cineaste who has not been contaminated by Fellini, simply as no musician can do with out Mozart or Bach.

    Inarritu’s is the second movie to be introduced in competitors at the August 31-September 10 version of the world’s oldest movie fest, after Noah Bambauch’s adaptation of the Don DeLillo novel White Noise, which was introduced on opening evening Wednesday.
