Versão original com legendas
1963
Guido Anselmi é um famoso realizador à procura de descanso e um pouco de evasão numas famosas termas. Realidade e imaginação misturam-se na sua mente e o lugar que o deveria curar e relaxar, enche-se das personagens que fazem parte da sua vida. No set abandonado do último filme, começam a reaparecer as personagens da sua vida: Guido, no meio deles com o megafone, dá ordens e todos obedecem em harmonia, de mãos dadas, formando uma cordão humano que desfila com alegria sob as notas das marchas dos gladiadores.
Vencedor do Óscar de melhor filme estrangeiro em 1964, esta é a sua versão restaurada digitalmente pela Cineteca Nazionale de Roma.
Na opinião de um mero cinéfilo, considero este filme a grande obra-prima da história do cinema. Mas porquê? Existem vários critérios para se escolher uma grande obra-prima, mas os que eu sigo, são relacionados com a realidade do artista e capacidade de dar expressão ao seu sofrimento através da sua arte.

The 1963 movie -- which marked eight and a half movies for Fellini (seven solos, three collaborations) -- was the director's unabashed gaze into the mirror. A vivid interspersing of fantasy and satire, it reflected ironically on Fellini's career -- with Marcello Mastroianni as his alter ego. Its entrancing combination of technical virtuosity and modish psychology won Fellini his third Academy Award for best foreign language film."
"But "8 1/2" is a great film in its own way, and despite the efforts of several other filmmakers to make their own versions of the same story, it remains the definitive film about director's block."
"Why "8½"? With six solo films behind him and three collaborations (counting as a half each), this film was Fellini's 8½ movie. It is also perhaps his most introverted and self-referential. Despite its insular nature, it got under the skin of many and went on to win the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar of 1963. Marcello Mastroianni stars as a film director on the brink of making his next big movie, and possibly his first nervous breakdown. We join him at a health farm where mud baths, holy water, and bathing in springs have been recommended for his possible salvation. Along for the ride is the mistress who he's already bored with, and a whole array of memories that play before us in a slideshow interrupted by visitors desperate for guidance on his forthcoming film.
