Pros and cons

Pros

Combines 14 films in one collection, with a wide range of accompanying documentaries and interviews.
The stated restoration program covers 11 features, plus digital restorations of two additional titles.
Two books add reading material and images alongside the video supplements.

Cons

The extensive set is a larger commitment than a single-film release, so buyers primarily seeking one Fellini title may not need its breadth.
