Haven't seen that many of his works though, aside from that, I've seen La Strada, which was made before 8 1/2, and seemed more minimalistic and simple compared to the flamboyant, carnivalesque style he employed later in his career. Film has a more conventional plot, but it's pretty heartbreaking. The other one I watched was one of his later works in the 80s, E la nave va (And the ship sails on), which is pretty surreal and absurdist, makes even less sense than 8 1/2, and is the type of film that divide audiences. I loved it though.
