The Last Sequence

8½ • 50m

Federico Fellini originally intended for 8½ to end with a surreal sequence in a train car-sets were built and footage was shot, but all that remains are still photographs. From this starting point, Mario Sesti's fifty-two-minute documentary details the story of that original ending and how it came to be replaced.
