In La Dolce Vita‚ we are given a glimpse of a filmmaker

Fed on a steady diet of commercial cinema from the developed world‚ former colonies have acquired the taste for such.

It focuses more on the directors and not the actors‚ which is good because most of the decent directors of that time were completely out of their minds
