“The best film ever made about filmmaking.” —Roger Ebert

Marcello Mastroianni plays Guido Anselmi, a director whose new project is collapsing around him, along with his life. One of the greatest films about film ever made, Federico Fellini’s 8½ (Otto e mezzo) turns one man’s artistic crisis into a grand epic of the cinema. 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. Torn between mistress Sandra Milo and wife Anouk Aimée, while caught idea-less on the verge of an ambitious new production, Guido escapes into childhood memories and sexual fantasies, until, in the course of a climactic ballet around his space-age set, he finally finds his subject. 1963, Italy, 4K DCP, in Italian with English subtitles, 138 minutes.
