Watch the new re-release trailer for Federico Fellini’s Oscar winning 8 1/2, originally made by & posted on BFI’s YouTube channel.
Opens across UK on 1 May 2015!
Struggling with the follow-up to his recent hit, Guido (Mastroianni) – clearly Fellini’s alter ego – retreats into a realm of reminiscence, anxiety and fantasy that reflects his feelings about the film folk constantly pestering him and the women in his life: his wife (Aimée), his mistress (Milo) and his ideal actress (Cardinale). Gianni Di Venanzo’s striking black-and-white camerawork blends realist observation with an evocation of Guido’s inner dreamworld, Mastroianni invests the self-centred protagonist with charm and a degree of dignity, and Nino Rota’s score brings coherence to the freewheeling circus that is Guido’s chaotic routine. Creative block rarely resulted in such feverish invention.
