Widely considered one of the greatest films in the history of cinema, 8 1⁄2 stars Marcello Mastroianni as a film director whose latest project has stalled. Tormented by "creative block," the director works through his past, revisiting places and people, re-creating memories and fantasies, until he is able to banish the guilt and fear that have paralyzed him. The cast includes Anouk Aimée and Claudia Cardinale.
"Here is a piece of entertainment that will really make you sit up straight and think, a movie endowed with the challenge of a fascinating intellectual game. It sets up a labyrinthine ego for the daring and thoughtful to explore, and it harbors some elegant treasures of wit and satire along the way." —New York Times
