Our Movie Movies megaseries returns with one of the subgenre’s – hell, one of the medium’s – most celebrated works.

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. (Janus Films)

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