Movie Discussion: Federico Fellini’s "8 ½ " In-Person
WPL’s Film Discussion group functions like a book club - watch the film on your own and gather at the library to discuss with other movie lovers! This title is available to stream on Kanopy and on DVD at the library. This month’s title: Federico Fellini’s 8 ½.
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 8 ½ (Otto e mezzo) turns one man’s artistic crisis into a grand epic of the cinema. An early working title for 8 ½ was "The Beautiful Confusion," and Fellini’s masterpiece is exactly that: a shimmering dream, a circus, and a magic act.
Winner of two Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film and Best Costume Design (Black and White), and consistently placed in The British Film Institute's Sight & Sound critics' and directors' poll of the ten greatest films of all time.
