The paper argues that controlled LSD therapy during Federico Fellini’s personal and creative crisis altered his phenomenological experience of time, space, body/others and the self, thereby enhancing his filmmaking. Manifestations such as irregular temporal flow and flashbacks, hyper‑vivid colours detached from objects, disembodied sounds, grotesquely distorted bodies and a collapse of dream and reality contributed to the distinctive "felliniesque" aesthetic.
