Searching for the creativity required to deliver his next movie and hassled by industry figures, his wife and his mistress, a film director (Marcello Mastroianni) retreats into a world 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. (Umbrella Entertainment)
