Guido Anselmi (Marcello Mastroianni) is a director whose film—and life—is collapsing around him. An early working title for the film was La Bella Confusione (The Beautiful Confusion), and Fellini's masterpiece is exactly that: a shimmering dream, a circus, and a magic act.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Criterion Collection is proud to present the 1963 Academy Award™ winner for Best Foreign-Language Film — one of the most written about, talked about, and imitated movies of all time — in a beautifully restored new digital transfer. Disc Two features Fellini's rarely seen first film for television, Fellini: A Director's Notebook (1969). Produced by Peter Goldfarb, this \"imagined documentary\" of Fellini on Fellini is a kaleidoscope of unfinished projects, all of which provide a fascinating and candid window into the director's unique and creative process.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDouble-Disc Set\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDisc One\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNew digital transfer of restored film elements, enhanced for 16:9 televisions, with digital image restoration\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eScreen-specific audio essay featuring commentary by film critic and Fellini friend Gideon Bachmann and NYU Professor of Film Antonio Monda\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction by Terry Gilliam, director of Brazil and 12 Monkeys\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e22-page booklet featuring essays by Fellini, longtime Fellini collaborator and critic Tullio Kezich, and film professor and author Alexander Sesonske\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTheatrical trailer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNew and improved English subtitles\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOptimal image quality: RSDL dual-layer edition\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDisc Two\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFellini: A Director's Notebook, a 52-minute film by Federico Fellini\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNino Rota: Between Cinema and Concert, a compelling 48-minute documentary about the maestro behind the music of Fellini's films\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInterviews with actress Sandra Milo, director Lina Wertmüller (whose career began on the set of 8 1\/2), and cinematographer Vittorio Storaro, who discusses the revolutionary art of Gianni di Venanzo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRare photographs from the collection of Gideon Bachmann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGallery of behind-the-scenes and production photos\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOptimal image quality: RSDL dual-layer edition\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1963 • 138 minutes • Black and White • Monaural • In Italian with optional English subtitles • 1.85:1 aspect ratio\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor DVD Player (North American NTSC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"The Criterion Collection","offers":[{"title":"Used In Sleeve","offer_id":51382935978262,"sku":"133225","price":9.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0083\/0377\/1710\/files\/202662172422188scan.jpg?v=1780453804","url":"https:\/\/www.neverdiemedia.com\/products\/8-1-2-the-criterion-collection-2-disc-set-w-booklet","provider":"NeverDieMedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
