8½ tells the tale of a film director, Guido (Marcello Mastroianni), on location for his latest production.

8½ was directed by Federico Fellini and released in 1963. It is certificate 15. The film lasts 138 minutes. With Marcello Mastroianni, Claudia Cardinale, Sandra Milo, and Anouk Aimée.

Real memories and fanciful ones swirl in Guido's head along with ideas for the film he is making. Loves - fantasised, remembered, and current - pop into view as 8½ unfolds. He is exhausted - by his lies, his appetites, everything. And adding to his troubles: his wife (Anouk Aimée) and a mistress (Sandra Milo) visit just as Guido tries to juggle an agitated producer, a writer who pains him, and worried actors. And throughout it all the wizard Fellini discourses, unveils, and interprets his spells - while entrancing us.
