Fellini's 8 1/2
Did anyone see this film? Can anyone tell me more about it? I watched it and I think I understand some of it but most of the finer details are lost on me.

Re: Fellini's 8 1/2
It's essentially an autobiographical film about Fellini's career as a director at that point in time. It's essentially a film that shows what it's like to be a creative artist and the pressures you face from your financial backers and the other people in your life. The title 8 1/2 refers to the fact that Fellini considered this his 8th and a half film in his oeuvre. There's also the traditional Fellini themes about the change in traditional Italian values over the first half of the 20th century and the general trend in 1960s art cinema about the alienating effects of modernization.

I see but does it also address the creative process? How it is postmodernism?
