So you like films about nothing? 81/2 has a point it has actors it has a screenplay. It most certainly is about something. A director struggling with creative process and not knowing what to make - feeling that he is a fraud in the movie business. Judging by this film...it is a fraud that suckered a lot of people and reviewers. The commentary on the film business isn't particularly insightful either - maybe he should have made the sci-fi film instead of the self indulgent and pretentious nothingness he presented.As for paintings, if I don't like one after 1 minute I can look elsewhere, i'm not trapped in for 2 hours while a director prattles on about what is a film version of a writer's block.
The psychic telling sequence is certainly an interesting one because the Fellini certainly pulled the wool over many eyes. If the film had even been noteworthy cinemagraphically I would have been a bit more impressed. The entire, presuambly, sexual fantasy of all the women in his life was amusing, pointless but amusing.
If it's some sort of psuedo existensionalism it doesn't really work...not that existensionalism really ever works in any medium.
Throwing around terms as beautiful or lush without context is meanigless artsy fartsy fluff.
Perhaps Fellini is a master at this type of film-making. However, the master of nothing is of nothing to be proud.
