Review of 8½ (1963) by Hal Hinson for Washington Post — 19 May 1994
Never again was Fellini as successful as he was here in his use of film as a theater for soul-searching. Loaded with self-referential detail, 8 1/2 is the director's self-mocking chronicle of his inability to come up with a worthy subject for his next film.
