“Available on DVD through www.umbrellaent.com.au” Searching for the creativity required to deliver his next movie and hassled by industry figures, his wife and his mistress, a film director (Mastroianni) retreats into a world of memories, dreams and fantasies to escape his tormentors. The result is a dazzling array of themes and images which make 8 1/2 the quintessential Fellini movie and prove Fellini to be one of cinema's great directors. Also included: "The Lost Ending" (52 mins) Some remember it, some don't. The photographs exist, the sequence has been shot. It should have been edited as the last sequence of Fellini's 8 1/2, but eventually the Maestro chose the enchanting liveliness of the Circus, and the train sequence is nowhere to be found. A Mystery! 50 minutes of an intriguing insight into the making of a masterpiece and featuring Federico Fellini, Claudia Cardinale, Marcello Mastroianni, Anouk Aimee, Rossella Falk, Sandra Milo and Gideon Bachmann.
