Synopsis: Guido Anselmi (Marcello Mastroianni), a filmmaker who is at a crisis point in his life and his work, struggles to make a new movie. 8 e 1/2 - OTTO E MEZZOdi Federico FelliniItalia, 1963 - b/n 720p100filmdasalvare. After such early works as I vitelloni, Fellini broke away from neorealism’s political strictures with the beloved La strada, and from there boldly explored his obsessions with the circus, societal decadence, spiritual redemption, and, most controversially, women, in such films as Nights of Cabiria, Juliet of the Spirits, and And the Ship Sails On.

Eight and a Half (8) is a film directed by Federico Fellini with Marcello Mastroianni, Claudia Cardinale, Anouk Aime, Sandra Milo. In his early career, Fellini was both a screenwriter for neorealist pioneer Roberto Rossellini and a newspaper caricaturist in postwar Rome, competing influences he would bring together with startling results. While his most popular-and accessible-film, the darkly nostalgic childhood memoir Amarcord, is a great entryway into his oeuvre, 8½, a collage of memories, dreams, and fantasies about a director’s artistic crisis, is perhaps his masterpiece.
One of Italy’s great modern directors, Federico Fellini was a larger-than-life maestro who created an inimitable cinematic style combining surreal carnival with incisive social critique.
