Abstract
Fellini's 8½, released in 1963, concerns a film director who has a midlife creative block. It is here viewed within the context of Fellini's discovery of Jung's writing and Jungian analysis in 1960. In Jung he found the mirroring he had not found in his childhood, or from the Catholic Church, or from the legacy of Italian neo-realist film. The film gives expression to the mixed results of Fellini's creative use of his discovery of Jung.
