Otto e mezzo (8½) Nino Rota / Arr. Jean-Pierre Haeck

Film music
CD The wilderness

Being one of the most personal and introspective films of Fellini, the movie Otto e mezzo was a big international success, winning the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 1963 and appearing on many film critics’ lists of the best movies ever made. Nino Rota’s original score is one of his most popular, and it was immediately identified as the quintessence of his collaboration with Fellini, due to its blend of nostalgia and circus music.
