FELLINI'S MASTERPIECE: 8 1/2
Recently added to HBO Max, Fellini's surreal masterpiece portrays Mastroianni as Guido, a famous Italian film director in a creative rut. Easily one of the most stylish and influential films of all time, '8 1/2' is how I imagine life as a film director is. Or rather strangely, how I'd want it to be. Fellini's intimate usage of the camera immerses you in this strange and fun world. Required viewing, most definitely.
