Essential Cinema  8 ½ Fellinis Presented by MUBI

There are no current or future screenings planned for this film.

“Federico Fellini manages to accomplish with film what mostly abstract painters do – namely, to communicate emotion without ever saying or showing anything in a direct manner, without ever explaining anything, just by a sort of sheer magic.”
—David Lynch

A double Fellini feature. First, the featurette TOBY DAMMIT, Fellini’s very loose Edgar Allan Poe adaptation starring Terence Stamp as a respected British actor who takes a job in an Italian film for a new Ferrari and is plagued by nightmarish visions. The second is AMARCORD, Fellini’s impressionistic portrait of an Italian village childhood under the fascist regime.
