2009118 min5.5 / 10

A visually sumptuous musical meditation on creative paralysis, ego, and the search for meaning, told through elaborate song-and-dance sequences that blend memory, fantasy, and present crisis.

Arrogant, self-centered movie director Guido Contini finds himself struggling to find meaning, purpose, and a script for his latest film endeavor. With only a week left before shooting begins, he desperately searches for answers and inspiration from his wife, his mistress, his muse, and his mother.
