Andrew SwaffordJul 28, 2014Federico Fellini. I've heard so much. As countless others have proclaimed, he was a master of the cinema. So, with massively high expectations, I dove head-first into my first Fellini. Simply put, 8 1/2 is magical. I have never seen a film that weaves in and out of…

It must’ve been hella awkward for Fellini’s wife to watch this.... Also yeah this is a masterpiece. 10 / 10
PopcornIdeologyOct 13, 2018"It's time to set all the symbols aside." the creative process as a personal apocalypse that gives way to glorious rebirth. dreams, the past, the present, and the abyss of the future collapses in on itself into a supernova within the spirit, body, and mind. kind of torn…
WesSep 14, 2014"Asa nisi masa." Just as I walk into the room, it dawns on me that I'm unprepared. Whatever I was supposed to do, I didn't do it. I'm not finished yet. How did I get here? Why would I have come if I wasn't ready? The others are all there, looking and laughing, knowing…

Mixing the sacred and the obscene, 8 1/2 is deeply profound. Despite being a melancholic tale of guilt and aimlessness, it somehow manages to be simultaneously comedic and heartbreaking. Fellini is a master in the very sense of the word. (9/10)
Sabrina Bondi liked8½It could be said that the true beauty of 8 1/2 is found in its confusion. It’s found in the physical and psychological mayhem. It’s found in Fellini’s unique film language and audacious visual approach.

from the first surrealist dream sequence, 8 1/2 brings you in close and never lets you go, an intellectual meta-masterpiece with flawless composure. the writing and performances are exceptional and the narrative is something wholly unique and special. directors forever
Kareem liked8½Yeah there's no way in hell this was a comedy Fellini, I don't care what kind of note you taped to the camera was supposed to tell you. 4/5, incredible had to rewatch.
Michael liked8½One of the most visually dynamic films from this time. Cinematography and direction are outstanding. Definitely gonna check out more of Fellini’s work. 8/10

Lida Pro Kino is "meh" on8½Дуже важко дивитися, адже фільм дивний. Дуже відрізняється від попередніх робіт Феліні
Carson Withers liked8½I need to watch it again apparently

It's Fellini's last black-and-white picture and conceivably the most gorgeous and inventive thing he ever did—certainly more fun than anything he made after it.

The best film ever made about filmmaking.
