Fellini's direction is sublime, and he creates a world that is both dreamlike and surreal, yet also deeply personal and intimate. The film's visuals are profound, and Marcello Mastroianni gives a tour-de-force performance as Guido.
8 1/2 is a film that will stay with you long after you've seen it. It is a film that challenges you to think about yourself and the world around you in new ways. It is a film that is both deeply personal and universally resonant.
