The Incomplete Story Federico Fellini’s 8½: Deconstructing the Structure

Summary/Abstract: Federico Fellini describes the adventure of a famous director to start/not start shooting a film that is his own Project in the film of Eight and a Half 8½ (Federico Fellini’s 8½) which was produced in 1963. Famous director Guido Anselmi reflects on the script he wrote. He prepares the film crew, the actors and the location where the film will be shot, but he can’t decide on the story of the movie. He can’t decide the roles, how many scenes the movie will have, the symbols he will use, whether the film will be realistic or surreal. Traces of Jacques Derrida’s deconstruction theory can be seen in Fellini’s work. Derrida examines deconstruction theory by dividing it into subtitles such as inconsistency, undecidability, binary oppositions and game. Inconsistency, undecidability and binary oppositions draw our attention in the construction of Fellini’s film Federico Fellini’s 8½. Because of this connection, the film Federico Fellini’s 8½ will be studied at the center of Derrida’s deconstruction theory. Derrida’s deconstruction theory will be discussed in the first part of the article. In the second part of the article, Fellini’s film Federico Fellini’s 8½ will be examined in terms of duality, indecision and inconsistency. In the third part of the article, Fellini’s 1963 film Federico Fellini’s 8½ and Derrida’s deconstruction theory will be examined comparatively.
