About the event

Marcello Mastroianni plays Guido Anselmi, a director whose new project is collapsing around him, along with his life. One of the greatest films about film ever made, Federico Fellini’s 8½ (Otto e mezzo) turns one man’s artistic crisis into a grand epic of the cinema. An early working title for 8½ was The Beautiful Confusion, and Fellini’s masterpiece is exactly that: a shimmering dream, a circus, and a magic act.

Runtime: 138 minutes

Movies were integral to Terry O’Neill’s life both personally and professionally. He grew up in post-war London where radio and two black-and-white TV channels were the only entertainment available, unless you could afford the cinema and dance halls. However, as his career exploded and Hollywood came calling for his services on set, Terry said “I thought I’d died and gone to heaven.” Joining his pals Bob Hoskins and Michael Caine on the set of Mona Lisa – one of his all time favorite movies – was just another gig in which O’Neill not only worked but carried his camera into the inner sanctum of stardom.
