Sinopsis
(All Movie Guide)
Fresh off of the international success of
La Dolce Vita,
master director
Federico Fellini moved into the realm of self-reflexive autobiography with
what is widely believed to be his finest and most personal work.
Marcello
Mastroianni delivers a brilliant performance as Fellini's alter ego Guido
Anselmi, a film director overwhelmed by the large-scale production he has
undertaken. He finds himself harangued by producers, his wife, and his
mistress while he struggles to find the inspiration to finish his film. The
stress plunges Guido into an interior world where fantasy and memory impinge
on reality. Fellini jumbles narrative logic by freely cutting from flashbacks
to dream sequences to the present until it becomes impossible to pry them
apart, creating both a psychological portrait of Guido's interior world and
the surrealistic, circus-like exterior world that came to be known as "Felliniesque."
8 1/2 won an
Academy Award for Best Foreign-Language Film, as well as the grand prize at
the Moscow Film Festival, and was one of the most influential and commercially
successful European art movies of the 1960s, inspiring such later films as
Bob Fosse's
All That Jazz
(1979), Woody
Allen's
Stardust Memories (1980), and even
Lucio Fulci's
Italian splatter film
Un Gatto nel
Cervello (1990).
