Nominated for five Academy Awards and winning two for Best Foreign Language Film as well as Costume Design (B&W), Fellini's masterpiece, 8 1/2, gives us one of cinema's great avant-garde films. In Fellini's own words, it is a film telling the story of a director who no longer knows what film he wanted to make. In addition to the two Academy Award wins, the film garnered an additional 17 awards, including the New York Film Critics Circle Award for Best Foreign Language Film. The title, 8 1/2, refers to the number of films he had directed up to that time.
