Episode Details

Federico Fellini's "8½" is the perfect film that was requested by Luis from the suggestions that I have offered to anyone who listens to this podcast. To briefly describe it here, I enjoyed the film very much to the point where I call it "the perfect film". I could have said so much about the film that I forgot to talk about my favorite shot about the film. There's so much to learn about live and this film delivers it in a way no one could have thought of especially during the early '60s in the Italian film industry. I briefly talk about how we can all relate to the story of the film, especially our own arrogance to just life without fear. The visuals and flashbacks play a lot on the character and the way Fellini gives us wild moments to look and swallow, the writing and the actors speak for themselves. Brilliant.
