8½ (1963), directed by Federico Fellini, is a cornerstone of world cinema and one of the most influential films ever made. Starring Marcello Mastroianni as Guido Anselmi, a director struggling with creative paralysis and existential crisis, the film blurs reality and fantasy in a dazzling exploration of art, memory, and identity. With its dreamlike imagery and innovative narrative structure, 8½ redefined modern filmmaking and became a touchstone for generations of directors.
This 1988 English-subtitled VHS edition presents the film in its original black-and-white format with restored subtitles, offering an accessible yet authentic experience for English-speaking audiences. A beautifully packaged release from the golden age of international art-house home video, it remains an essential piece for collectors of classic European cinema.
