Eight and a Half (Otto e mezzo)

Now that 8 1/2's conceit is less shocking, D.A. Miller argues, we can see more clearly how tentative, even timid, Fellini's ground-breaking incarnation always was. Guido is a perfect blank, or is trying his best to seem one. By his own admission he doesn't even have an artistic or social statement to offer: 'I have nothing to say, but I want to say it anyway.' 8 1/2's deepest commitment is not to this man (who is never quite 'all there') or to his message (which is lacking entirely) but to its own flamboyant manner. The enduring timeliness of 8 1/2 lies, Miller suggests, in its aggressive shirking of the shame that falls on the man – and the artist – who fails his appointed social responsibilities.
D. A. Miller is John F. Hotchkis Professor Emeritus and fomerly Professor of the Graduate School at the University of California, Berkeley, USA.

He has served on the editorial boards of differences, Film Quarterly, and Novel: A Forum on Fiction. For many years, he wrote a regular column for Film Quarterly called "Second Time Around," which has provided the basis of his most recent book "Second Time Around: From Art House to DVD" (2021). In 2013, he was elected a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
