Synopsis: One of the greatest films about film ever made, Federico Felliniâ€™s 8 1/2 (Otto e Mezzo) turns one manâ€™s artistic crisis into a grand epic of the cinema. Guido Anselmi (Marcello Mastroianni) is a director whose filmâ€”and lifeâ€”is collapsing around him. An early working title for the film was La Bella Confusione (The Beautiful Confusion), and Felliniâ€™s masterpiece is exactly that: a shimmering dream, a circus, and a magic act. The Criterion Collection is proud to present the 1963 Academy Awardâ„¢ winner for Best Foreign-Language Filmâ€”one of the most written about, talked about, and imitated movies of all timeâ€”in a beautifully restored new digital transfer. Disc two features Fellini's rarely seen first film for television, Fellini: A Directorâ€™s Notebook (1969). Produced by Peter Goldfarb, this imagined documentary of Fellini is a kaleidoscope of unfinished projects, all of which provide a fascinating and candid window into the director's unique and creative process.
