Overview

Guido Anselmi, a film director, finds himself creatively barren at the peak of his career. Urged by his doctors to rest, Anselmi heads for a luxurious resort, but a sorry group gathers—his producer, staff, actors, wife, mistress, and relatives—each one begging him to get on with the show. In retreat from their dependency, he fantasizes about past women and dreams of his childhood.

Viewing Notes

After the events from today in addition to a fully loaded office day, I had way too much on my mind to fully enjoy this wonderful 35mm screening at The Patio. Still a treat to see on the big screen but challenging for me to remain focused. But it’s such a rich film I know I will revisit again. Hopefully under better circumstances.
