Summary:I would like to show in this paper that it is legitimate and fruitful to consider Fellini’s and Pasolini’s works through Warburg’s studies of the Quattrocento or of the Hopis in America. The comparison of their methods paves the way for new perspectives on their relation to the past. Indeed, we may see the return to Antiquity in their works as a way to bring into light the return of the Antiquity, considered here as the symptomatic forms of a past still living in the present. Warburg was not particularly interested in cinema, but his work on the Image and on representations opens interesting perspectives on the way Fellini and Pasolini questioned their own means of expression, thanks to the Antiquity.
