Federico Fellini's masterpiece
Fellini´s magnificent work of self-reflection and creative crisis. The film follows film director Guido Anselmi, who is stuck in both personal and artistic limbo as he attempts to make his next blockbuster. Through a dreamlike blend of memories, fantasies, and reality, Fellini portrays Guido's inner life with humor and poetic power.
8½ explores themes such as love and identity, while also playing with the boundaries between film and reality. With surreal images, playful camera angles, and a rhythmic flow between fantasy and realism, the film offers a deep and fascinating insight into human inner conflicts and the vulnerability of the creative process.
8½ is both a tribute to the art of filmmaking and a timeless reflection on life itself.
The film is shown in collaboration with Cinemateket.
