One of the greatest films about film ever made, Federico Fellini’s 8½ (Otto e mezzo) turns one man’s artistic crisis into a grand epic of the cinema. An early working title for 8½ was The Beautiful Confusion, and Fellini’s masterpiece is exactly that: a shimmering dream, a circus, and a magic act. Also featured is Fellini’s rarely seen first film for television, Fellini: A Director’s Notebook (1969). Produced by Peter Goldfarb, this “imagined documentary” of Fellini on Fellini is a kaleidoscope of unfinished projects, all of which provide a fascinating and candid window into the director’s unique creative process.\n\nBLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES\nHigh-definition digital transfer of restored film elements, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack Introduction by filmmaker Terry Gilliam Audio commentary featuring film critics Gideon Bachmann and Antonio Monda Fellini: A Director’s Notebook, a short film by Federico Fellini The Last Sequence, a documentary on Fellini’s lost alternate ending for 8½ Nino Rota: Between Cinema and Concert, a documentary about Fellini’s longtime composer Interviews with actor Sandra Milo, filmmaker Lina Wertmüller, and cinematographer Vittorio Storaro Rare photographs from Bachmann’s collection Gallery of behind-the-scenes and production photos Trailer PLUS: Writings by Fellini and essays by critics Tullio Kezich and Alexander Sesonske\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B002U6DVQM\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: LFV.B002U6DVQM.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Marcello Mastroianni|Claudia Cardinale|Anouk Aime|Sandra Milo|Rossella Falk|Madeleine Lebeau|Caterina Boratto|Barbara Steele|Guido Alberti|Mario Conocchia|Eddra Gale|Brunello Rondi|Federico Fellini|Ennio Flaiano|Bruno Agostini|Tullio Pinelli\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Blu-ray\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: DVD Very Good - Case is in great condition.
