8½ [1963]

Influential Italian director Federico Fellini takes us into a black & white surreal dreamworld that is both haunting and hilarious in the comedic fantasy 8½.
Following the story of a stuck in a rut filmmaker who takes to hiding in his dreams and memories, 8½ is a bizarrely structured story that never really seems to worry about making much sense.
An obvious influence on the likes of Stanley Kubrick, David Lynch, Terry Gilliam and Tim Burton, this little black & white film about director's block is a must see for every cinephile.
