This richly comic work, long recognized as the most important expression of the director's views about himself and his art, communicates to its viewers an understanding of the processes of filmmaking itself.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Absolutely Essential,
By
This review is from: 8.5: Federico Fellini, director (Rutgers Films in Print) (Paperback)
To draw an analogy from the world of technical writing, this is the "missing manual" for Fellini's self-reflexive masterpiece of cinema, 8 1/2. As far as I'm concerned, this book should come packaged along with every DVD (or Blu-Ray) of the film. Before I got my hands on this book, I'd seen the film countless times, thought I knew every frame and line of dialogue, and all of the film's secrets. How wrong I was. The book is worth getting for the annotated continuity script alone. The shooting script, essays, etc. are all icing on the cake. Seriously, if you have the film 8 1/2 on a shelf somewhere, you need this book sitting right next to it.
P.S. I feel the need to point out the light irony in the fact that this entry in the Rutgers Films In Print series is not, itself, currently in print.
