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. An early working title for 8½ was The Beautiful Confusion, and Fellini’s masterpiece is exactly that: a shimmering dream, a circus, and a magic act.

Yup that be a Fellini movie. Try Satyricon.

His films are so full of life. Italian, go figure.

I love “La Strada”. Jut hearing the music makes me teary eyed.
His other films I find creepy, at some level.

Great film! Marcelo Mastroianni was the greatest leading man. Ever!
Mock me if you wish, but I even enjoyed Woody Allen’s “tribute” to 8 1/2, Stardust Memories (which made great use of Asbury Park and Ocean Grove in New Jersey).

Claudia Cardinale. I remember her from Once Upon a Time in the West and The Professionals.

I like to think of myself as a serious film buff, but aside from La Strada, I have seen no Fellini films. I've seen most Bergman films and a fair amount of French films, but no Fellini. I have 8-1/2, Juliet of the Spirits and Roma on my DVR and plan to watch them soon. I also need to see La Dolce Vita.
