8 1/2 is a terrible movie. Pretentious crap
Fellini is famous for sniffing his own farts but my god, this was something else. I like La Dolce Vita, Night of Cabiria, La Strada etc.
This was a joke. It was a self indulgent film, an exploration of self by someone who is quite frankly a totally mediocre irrelevancy.
How far does your head have to be stuck up your own ass and Fellini's ass to enjoy this "movie".
