8-1/2(Italy-France 1963)
Director Federico Fellini

Guido Anselmi is an Italian director who has lost all inspiration for his upcoming movie, and aside from the fact that he can not make the film, his mistress, wife, producer, and all the rest of his friends, are pressuring him about one thing or another.
He wrestles with his conscience, but is unable to come up with a new idea. While thinking, he starts to recall major happenings in his life, and all the women he has loved and left. An autobiographical film of Fellini, about the trials and tribulations of film making.
