8 1/2 (Academy Award Winner)

Searching for the creativity required to deliver his next movie and hassled by industry figures, his wife and his mistress, a film director (Mastroianni) retreats into a Foreign of memories, dreams and fantasies to escape his tormentors. The result is a dazzling array of themes and images which make 8 ½ the quintessential Fellini movie and prove Fellini to be one of cinema's great directors. Also including "The Lost Ending" (52 mins) Some remember it, some don't. The photographs exist, the sequence has been shot. It should have been edited as the last sequence of Fellini's 8 1/2, but eventually the Maestro chose the enchanting liveliness of the Circus, and the train sequence is nowhere to be found. A Mystery! 50 minutes of an intriguing insight into the making of a masterpiece and Featuring Federico Fellini, Claudia Cardinale, Marcello Mastroianni, Anouk Aimee, Rossella Falk, Sandra Milo and Gideon Bachmann.
