Movie 210/1001 ~ 8 1/2

This film is considered one of the greatest films of all time, and its isn't hard to see why. Fellini's mastery of black and white cinematography is blatant and beautiful. On face value, the film is about a director struggling from director's block while under pressure from all facets of his life, from the producer, to his mistress, to his wife. The film itself is largely autobiographical but even delves into questions of religion, the nature of art, and a quest to find meaning in life. It is an excellent movie, important for any film buff to watch at some point. It is called 8 1/2 because it was Fellini's 8 1/2th film (one short).

Side Note: I love the leading actor's hat and sunglasses.
