Federico Fellini's 8 1/2 and the Absence of Meaning: A Personal View.
This essay will approach Fellini's "8 1/2" from a personal perspective. It will be argued that the film's theme of the emptiness of individual identity in the modern age is represented by both the structure and the story of the film. Both of these center upon the character of Guido who, as will be seen, functions as a sort of "everyman" figure with whom the viewer can emotionally identify. 10 pgs. No bibliography provided.
