Kezich was born in Trieste. A film critic for Corriere della Sera, he co-wrote the screenplay for the 1988 film, La leggenda del santo bevitore (The Legend of the Holy Drinker), based on the novel by Joseph Roth. Directed by Ermanno Olmi and starring Rutger Hauer, the film won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival in 1988.

Recognized as a world specialist on Federico Fellini, his ground-breaking biography of the Italian director, Fellini, la vita e i film (Camunia, 1987), was revised and published in English as Fellini: His Life and Work in 2006. Peter Cowie wrote that the book surpassed all the other works on the director in English, French and Italian. Kezich authored numerous other books on cinema and was also a playwright, whose works have been performed throughout Europe. He died aged 80 in Rome.

It effaces virtually everything written to date about the Italian maestro . . . This engrossing biography mirrors its subject. It’s affectionate, garrulous and often rambling, and in sudden flashes of brilliance it offers a penetrating view of Fellini’s life and art.” —Peter Cowie, The Nation

“Few writers are able to approach Fellini with the privilege of intimate experience and friendship . . . Kezich fills the pages of this biography with uncommon detail and artistry, presenting a chronicle that weaves life with film, fact with fantasy, in a style reminiscent of the great director’s avant-garde style . . . For the aficionado of Fellini’s works, this narrative of his life provides a sea of subtle, precious anecdotes. To those yet unacquainted with the Italian master, the book is an introduction not only to the man’s life, but his art, also. It’s a captivating read.” —Karoun Demirjian, The Christian Science Monitor

“Kezich’s forty-year friendship with the maestro allows him to offer up an intimate and lively portrait of Fellini filled with revealing anecdotes and psychological insight.” —Michel Ciment, author of Kubrick and Kazan on Kazan</div>]]> 47356 3.82 11 3 2007 508338 883176442X 9788831764421 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/508338.De_Lullo_o_Il_teatro_empirico_Ricordando_un_maestro_dello_spettacolo_italiano 0.0 0 47356 3.82 11 3 1996 4649596 0500513902 9780500513903 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4649596.Federico_Fellini_s_Diary_of_Dreams 0.0 0 47356 3.82 11 3 47354 4.00 1 0 2007 7026762 1845114256 9781845114251 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7026762-federico-fellini 0.0 0 47356 3.82 11 3 2007 508337 8807490102 9788807490101 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/508337.Dino_De_Laurentiis_la_vita_e_i_film 0.0 0 47356 3.82 11 3 2004 508336 8883193970 9788883193972 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/508336.Primavera_a_Cinecitt_Il_cinema_italiano_alla_svolta_della_Dolce_vita_ 0.0 0 47356 3.82 11 3 1999 433582 3257018363 9783257018363 0 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174725156m/433582.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174725156s/433582.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/433582.Fellini_Eine_Biographie_ 0.0 0 47356 3.82 11 3 1989
