All That Jazz
Why this pick
Matches 8½’s flamboyant autobiographical self-scrutiny: an exhausted creator’s memories, fantasies and professional pressures fuse into restless musical spectacle.

The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie
Why this pick
Its elegant, deadpan movement between social reality and recurring dream logic offers a similarly playful, destabilizing surrealism.

The Young Girls of Rochefort
Why this pick
For 8½’s love of artifice and choreographed fantasy, this is a radiant, meticulously designed world where longing is expressed through cinematic play.

01 / THE STORY
A picture that goes beyond what men think about - because no man ever thought about it in quite this way!
A film director is struggling to find the creativity required to deliver his next movie and consequently is being harassed by his producers, colleagues as well as his wife and his mistress. In order to escape his tormentors, the director retreats in dreamy recollections of his life and lovers, until fantasy and reality merge in the director's mind.
