The film, as it played in theaters, has the film director character Guido Anselmi deciding to go back to his wife while the characters of his past go by in a ring-around-the-rosy whirl. Considered one of Fellini's greatest works, the Oscar-winning movie regularly ranks in polls that ask critics and directors to pick the 10 greatest films of all time.

The ending used was actually a shot as a trailer, but Fellini liked it so much he used it instead of the scene he had already shot where the women of Anselmi's life are seated in the dining car of a train. The discarded footage was lost, but the Cinemarzaro Association found stills after buying the collection of journalist Gideon Bachmann who had followed the shooting of the film.

Claudia Cardinale, who played a sort of dreamlike muse in the film, said she doesn't remember much about the abandoned ending. "The film changed my life forever, Italian cinema was the best the world had," she told newspapers. "I only remember a bit about the train scene, mainly I have a sensation of love and two colors -- the blinding white of the costumes and the black-grey of the smoke of the train."

i really have nothing to say, but i want to say it all the same.

Nimrod 02-09-2004 12:03 PM
I liked 8 1/2, but I really feel that Fellini is probably the most overrated film maker of all time.

8 1/2 is my favorite film of all time. the Italian neo-realism movement kicked ass. i should see more of it.

Because his films weren't nearly as creative or original or envelope pushing as everyone seems to think they are. Just because something is "different" doesn't make it good.

then in which films do his problems lie? Satyricon was pretty shitty, but it has its positive points, like the awesome set decoration. he really establishes a style with that film that makes up for the awful direction of the characters.

With a couple of exceptions, all of them. It's like he because a characterization of himself, or his style did. Anything from 1970- is total shit, for sure, but also earlier. La Dolce Vita was good... Boccaceo 70 was ok.. other than that though I find his films completely boring and repetitive. I am speaking of him as a director.

Boring and derivitive. My opinion only, of course.

patrick 02-09-2004 05:42 PM
