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 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. Central to that is a sound design that simultaneously places the viewer both squarely in Rome and everywhere else.
