8½

It 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.

Fellini O m G ....... !!!

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)

Yeah 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.

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

I need to watch it again apparently
