Matched by Nino Rota’s nearly childish and lullaby-like soundtrack, it’s a top combo. Anselmi is stuck in a creative stasis, pressured by the press and the industry’s expectations on his next science fiction feature film, and estranged by his close friends and loved ones.Īugmenting the dreamscape land that permeates the whole film, is Mastroianni’s abundant use of comic book language – both a sign of the character’s refusal to deal with the burdens of adult life and a witnessing of the early 1960s obsession for everything pop. Have you ever found yourself wondering how a film is born in the volcanic mind of a director? What if all the thoughts, indecisions and life dilemmas were themselves worthy of a film? Fellini came to these same conclusions in 8 ½, an ethereal, psychedelic and surrealistic journey into the troubled mind and existence of acclaimed director Guido Anselmi (Marcello Mastroianni), who works as the projection of Fellini himself.
