8½ 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray presents Federico Fellini’s dazzling masterpiece about filmmaker Guido Anselmi, played by Marcello Mastroianni, whose new production—and personal life—are spiralling into chaos. One of the greatest films ever made about the creative process, 8½ transforms an artist’s crisis into a dreamlike spectacle filled with memory, fantasy, humour, and raw vulnerability. Originally titled The Beautiful Confusion, the film unfolds as a shimmering circus of images, ideas, and illusions. This edition also includes Fellini: A Director’s Notebook, the director’s rarely seen 1969 television film—a fascinating, semi-documentary exploration of abandoned projects and Fellini’s own imagination.
