I've been putting off watching any more Fellini after watching La Dolce Vita and having it stay with me for weeks, and I ended up watching 8 1/2 this Sunday, and I was stunned by how funny it was. I think I was expecting something a bit more ponderous but it is just hilarious - how craven the director character is, how viciously Fellini deconstructs his own pretentions, and how beautifully it resolves. It should on paper be utterly self indulgent (director writes a film about directors block) but it's just effortless - a film of a man tapdancing on quicksand. Amazing.
