FP087: “stringing together the tattered pieces of your life...”

8½ (Otto e mezzo) (1963)

As the result of a horrible case of writer’s block, Federico Fellini created one of his most seminal and autobiographical films. The story of a world-famous director, saddled with writer’s block, a film he can got finish, let alone begin, and all the people in his life, present and past, who wander in and out of his thoughts like ghosts. A supreme example of the cinema of dreams.
