I think you probably need to read up on this movie before you watcb it.
I had never seen it before watching last night.
But having seen La Dolce Vita is a primer of sorts. 8 1/2 is a similar kaleidoscopic experience but probably more obscure. However it becomes clear after a while that he is giving us a journey into his own life experiences from childhood through relationships sometimes as a fantasy, sometimes reality.
The little band of circus-type musicians in the closing sequence was like something from his other great movie La Strada, which I'd dearly like to get a.copy of. It's over 50 years since I saw it but it still sticks in the memory.
He is a wonderful filmmaker from a truly great era of Italian cinema.
