The stress plunges Guido into an interior world where fantasy and memory impinge on reality. He finds himself harangued by producers, his wife, and his mistress while he struggles to find the inspiration to finish his film. Marcello Mastroianni delivers a brilliant performance as Fellini's alter ego Guido Anselmi, a film director overwhelmed by the large-scale production he has undertaken.

I love the fantasy and the sense of improvisation in both. Co-scripted by Fellini, Tullio Pinelli, Ennio Flaiano, and Brunello Rondi, it stars Marcello Mastroianni as Guido Anselmi, a famous Italian film director who suffers from stifled creativity as he attempts to direct an epic science fiction film. As a boy, my greatest dream would have been to be the director of a circus. 8 + 1 2 (Italian title: Otto e mezzo, pronounced tto e mmddzo) is a 1963 Italian surrealist comedy-drama film directed by Federico Fellini. Fresh off of the international success of La Dolce Vita, master director Federico Fellini moved into the realm of self-reflexive autobiography with what is widely believed to be his finest and most personal work. Having always loved the circus, I saw the resemblance between movies and the circus.
