8½, starring Marcello Mastroianni, Claudia Cardinale and other popular names of Italian cinema, deals with a film director who has lost his inspiration to finish a film and tries to flee from his responsibilities, co-workers and his private life, which works rather unsuccessful. The only way for him to really get away is to fall into daydreams, where the magic of 8½ happens, as the changes between reality and dreams are fluent and the audience can’t tell at first what is an illusion and what is not. The music was provided by long-time Fellini collaborator and friend Nino Rota, who, with the theme to 8½ (L’Illussionista) composed one of his best known pieces. The rest of the film score doesn’t reflect Fellini’s cinematic surrealism, but instead sway us in a ‘working’ world. Enjoy!

Great movie I adore MM...so talented was he; such heart and sans vanity for such a stunner. Saw a Dick Cavette ( ancient show) with M and Sophia. As rude as " Dick" was to him, it was so cool. ❤

Amy, thank you so much for your warm words. I really appreciate them! Just the best to you and your loved ones!

The actual galop of Carlotta's galop seems inspired on Khachaturian's Sabre Sance.

[@michaellee2387]

I always thought so, however they don't sound alike side by side. The pre galop portion is a reworking of "Cadillac" from La Dolce Vita.

Hey Fred, thanks for these awesome scores you give us could you by any means do the scores of "the red shoes", "fellini satyricon" and "vertigo" I think people would love those and certainly with the great quality you give us.

[@SoundtrackFred]

Hello Franklin and thank you for your kind message! "Red Shoes" could be rather difficult to make as just a re-recording of the music is available. We usually try to keep the 'original' spirit here but we will see what time brings... "Vertigo" is already done and "Fellini Satyricon" is on the to-do-list. :-) Best! Fred

Still on Italian neorealism. Would the genius Federico Fellini fit into this movement? What does Fellini's work represent for the world of cinema? Is it still relevant? Federico Fellini is undoubtedly one of the most important figures in the history of cinema, but his work does not fall strictly within the realm of Italian neorealism. While Fellini emerged during the same period as neorealism and was influenced by it to some extent, he developed his own unique style that eventually diverged from the neorealist principles. Italian neorealism, which flourished in the aftermath of World War II, aimed to depict the social realities of post-war Italy with a focus on the lives of ordinary people. Neorealist films were characterized by their use of non-professional actors, location shooting, and stories that highlighted social issues and the struggles of everyday life. Directors like Vittorio De Sica, Roberto Rossellini, and Luchino Visconti were prominent figures of this movement. Fellini's early works, such as "The White Sheik" (1952) and "La Strada" (1954), showed some neorealist influences in terms of subject matter and storytelling, but his style began to evolve with films like "Nights of Cabiria" (1957) and "La Dolce Vita" (1960). Fellini's films became more surreal, dreamlike, and introspective, exploring themes of memory, fantasy, and the human condition. Fellini's work represents a departure from neorealism and can be considered as part of the broader category of art cinema. His films are characterized by their poetic imagery, visual extravagance, and deeply personal narratives. He often explored the realms of dreams and fantasies, blurring the boundaries between reality and illusion. His storytelling was marked by rich symbolism, intricate narratives, and larger-than-life characters. Fellini's films had a profound impact on the world of cinema and continue to be highly regarded. They introduced innovative and visually stunning techniques, influenced the works of subsequent filmmakers, and challenged traditional storytelling conventions. Fellini's unique vision and his ability to create captivating and thought-provoking cinematic experiences have earned him a place among the greatest directors in history. While Fellini's heyday was in the mid-20th century, his work remains relevant and continues to inspire filmmakers today. His exploration of the human psyche, his reflections on the nature of existence, and his visual storytelling techniques have left a lasting impression on cinema. Filmmakers and cinephiles still study and draw inspiration from his films, and his legacy as a visionary director endures. 1:59 [Content generated by ChatGPT.

Just as Hitchcock had his Herrmann, and Spielberg has his Williams, the great Italian director Federico Fellini's composer of choice (writing music for over two-thirds of his films) was Nino Rota. 11:00 [Presto Music]

8 1/2 is full of Catholicism imagery and symbolism.

[@Gurci28]

Many of the director's films draw on personal memories or dreams and contain a sense of the theatrical, including performers ranging from clowns to dancers. The themes of erotic fantasy and infidelity are often present and - though many would argue that it is self-obsession - so, too, is his self-awareness. 8:00 [QAGOMA]

[@Gurci28]

Federico Fellini's La Dolce Vita is funny, thought-provoking and is often deservedly considered one of the best films of the 1960s. 8:57
