Un altro film senza speranza

Otto e mezzo (8½)

(1963)

This is all kinds of weird, dude, but it's beautiful, too. As the man says, sometimes you just have to let art wash over you. Marcello Mastroianni plays a version of Federico Fellini, struggling to put together a film from bits and pieces of his past and present. But that's like saying Moby-Dick is about a guy chasing a whale. As always, everything boils surreally down to sex, music (mind-blowing bricolage of a score by Nino Rota), and Catholicism.
