8 1/2 Italian movie directed by Fellini. The ending was somewhat ambiguous, probably by intention or just that I did not understand. That aside, a very good movie. Nino Rota's music is just outstanding, though not as haunting as his score in Godfather. You have to watch this movie atleast for its excellent black and white cinematography and Nino Rota's music. In the DVD, there is also a special section on Nino Rota. It also has a documentary on fellini, which I did not watch. This is the first Italian movie I am watching. I found the direction style very different. I don't know if it is common to Italian cinema or something unique to Fellini. SPOILER ALERT In the final scene, does he get back his inspiration? Is he ready to face the truth? Or was it his imagination?
