Cinematheque

A surreal masterpiece from the master Federico Fellini. In “8 1/2”, the Italian filmmaker Guido Anselmi (played by Marcello Mastroianni) struggles with a creative block as he attempts to get a new movie off the ground. Overwhelmed by his work and personal life, the director retreats into his thoughts, which often focus on his loves, both past and present, and frequently wander into the fantastical.SERIES: WORLD CINEMA CLASSICS
