"La Dolce Vita” director (7)
I believe the answer is:
'la dolce vita director' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for fellini that I've seen before include "It. director of Satyricon" , "Shooting Italian" , "Federico --, Italian film producer" , "It. film director (La Dolce Vita)" , "Italian film-maker, d. 1993" .)
