A FILM TO REMEMBER: “8½” (1963)
Before I get into this, I want to make mention “A FILM TO REMEMBER” will be a series about films that have reached a milestone anniversary since their origin in being culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant. The articles will contain the film’s plot outline, director, cast, a compilation of trivialities, various photos, movie trailer, critical reception and more. So, let’s start:
We are here to mark the celebration of the 55th Anniversary of Federico Fellini’s “8½”. Let’s take an inside look at the film:
