About this product
Product Information
Federico Fellini's Oscar-nominated 8 1/2 is a masterpiece of storytelling and cinema. The most autobiographical of Fellini's films, the plot of which concerns a 43-year-old film director who is having a midlife crisis, it is a career benchmark for this magnificent Italian New Wave director. Beautifully choreographed with flashbacks, dream sequences, exaggerated fantasy scenes, and magical surrealist episodes, 8 1/2 is one of the richest, most exuberant movies ever made, in the mode of Fellini's artfully abstract LA DOLCE VITA and AMARCORD.Guido Anselmi (Marcello Mastroianni) is at a crisis point in his life and his work; in the opening sequence, Guido, suffocating, is caught in traffic with the windows of his car locked shut. He climbs out of the sunroof and literally rises up over the highway into the clouds, seemingly free, when he realizes there's a rope tied around his ankle that is violently pulling him back to earth. Cutting from this dream to the health spa where Guido is trying to recapture his creativity and write the screenplay for his next film, his vices become clear: Guido is self-absorbed, and he's distracted by the fabulous cast of actresses, intellectuals, and eccentrics who have joined him at the spa. Additionally he struggles with Freudian complexes about his wife (Anouk Aimée), his lover (Sandro Milo), his ideal woman (Claudia Cardinale), and his dead parents; and his repressive Catholic guilt follows him everywhere like a haunting mist.Product Identifiers

Don’t miss this great film
My favorite Fellini movie. 8 1/2 is a disconnected mixture of abstract dreams and reality. It is a story of the endless demands of a film director. Marcello Mastroianni, Anouilh Aimée and Claudia Cardinale are great actors. I highly recommend this movie.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

My favorite art film
I can watch this film over and over. Certain elements of the production are lacking, but it was a sign of the times. I read nothing about the fil before I watched it, so the theme was difficult to capture, but the theme is there. Watching Guido deal with the problems he created for himself is why I keep coming back to this film.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
