Italian movie director Federico Fellini was relentless in creating memorable feasts for the eyes in his films. Who could forget the opening sequence of La Dolce Vita—in which a statue of Jesus flies over ancient Roman aqueducts, concrete construction sites, and bikini-clad bodies?

Or the scene in 8½ in which an endless stream of quirky characters sip spa waters in the eye-watering brightness of day? Or when priests roller skated onto the runway in an ecclesiastical fashion show in Roma?
