Overview
One of the greatest films about film ever made, Federico Fellini’s 8½ marks the moment when the director’s always-personal approach to filmmaking fully embraced self-reflexivity, pioneering a stream-of-consciousness style that darts exuberantly among flashbacks, dream sequences, and carnivalesque reality, and turning one man’s artistic crisis into a grand epic of the cinema. Marcello Mastroianni plays Guido Anselmi, a director whose new project is collapsing around him, along with his life, as he struggles against creative block and helplessly juggles the women in his life—including Anouk Aimée, Sandra Milo and Claudia Cardinale.
Why See This Film
Winner of Best Foreign Language Film at the 1963 Oscars, 8½ is one of Fellini’s best loved and most influential films, referenced countless times by other filmmakers throughout cinema history. It’s the role star Marcello Mastroianni is most known for, and often ranks highly on lights of the greatest films of all time.
