8 1/2, Fellini’s cinematic masterpiece from 1963, explores the alienating effect of modern society in an Italy then still in thrall to the economic miracle, in a manner which chimes with Arte Povera’s yearning for an agrarian and pre-industrialised society. Starring Marcello Mastroianni and shot in black-and-white by cinematographer Gianni di Venanzo, the film features a soundtrack by Nino Rota.
