Fellini's '8 1/2' - Great Moments in Cinema

Farhad2000says...

Federico Fellini (January 20, 1920 – October 31, 1993) was one of the most influential and widely revered Italian film-makers of the 20th century and is considered to be one of the finest film directors of all time. Fellini's films typically combine memory, dreams, fantasy, and desire.

8½ (Italian: Otto e Mezzo) is a 1963 film written and directed by Italian director Federico Fellini. It is regularly acclaimed by film critics as one of the finest films ever made; in a recent poll of film directors conducted by the British Film Institute, 8½ was ranked 3rd best film of all time. The film was shot in black-and-white by influential and innovative cinematographer Gianni di Venanzo, and features a soundtrack by Nino Rota.

The plot revolves around an Italian film director, Guido Anselmi (Marcello Mastroianni), who is suffering from 'director's block'. He is supposed to be directing a science fiction film but has lost interest amid his marital difficulties. As Guido struggles half-heartedly to work on the film, a series of flashbacks and dreams delve into his memories and fantasies, frequently them with reality.
