8 1/2 ** 1/2
(First Viewing)

8 1/2 is about Guido Anselmi, an Italian director who has lost all inspiration for his upcoming movie, and it's too late to back out. And aside from the fact that he can't make the film, his mistress, wife, producer, and all the rest of his friends, are pressuring him about one thing or another. So he retreats into his dreams to shelter himself from the pressure, and there, he finds inspiration to make his new film, and face the world.

A well made film that I didn't understand most of the time. Plus I thought the run time was very long at 138 minutes. Plus the actors talked so fast and it was hard to keep up.
