Dog-tired movie director Guido Anselmi retreats to thoughts of yesteryear when his producers, his wife and his mistress all pressure him to start making another movie. Director Federico Fellini's 8½ is a semiautobiographical rumination on the joys and rigors of filmmaking - as well as lovers past and present.
