Published: Feb. 6, 2023, 4:15 p.m.

This week we’re staring our annual Foreign Film month with the show’s first Italian entry, the 1963 surrealist comedy-drama film 8 ½. Directed and co-written by Federico Fellini, the metafictional narrative centers on Guido Anselmi, played by Marcello Mastroianni, a famous Italian film director who suffers from stifled creativity as he attempts to direct an epic science fiction film. Claudia Cardinale, Anouk Aimée, Sandra Milo, Rossella Falk, Barbara Steele, and Eddra Gale portray the various women in Guido's life. Come join us!!
