Oscar Winner for Best Foreign Film and Best Costume Design Academy Awards 1964
Marcello Mastroianni stars as a film director on the brink of making his next big movie...and possibly his first nervous breakdown! This is a film about filmmaking in which Mastroianni mirrors Fellini, as a director suffering from others' expectations that he is about to deliver another masterpiece. During the making of this film, Fellini himself was faced with many of the problems that are so cleverly depicted in the film. As dreams of the future merge with memories from the past, a fascinating array of imagery is conjured upon the screen. The effect is sometimes confusing - but always beautiful - and eventually intertwines to become a singular life-confirming realisation that cuts through the madness, ultimately embracing it.
