8½

This film had everything. The very starting showed guido trapped in a car and it burning from inside, then him escaping from rooftop being free and then on a beach in aur while a man pulls him down.... Setting the premise of the film. This whole film showed what he's going through.... All that's he's ever felt.... The conflict with women.... Him fantasizing his own world with all his nostalgia....regrets and creative indulgence in it. Atlast in imagining while overwhelmed,he kills the version of himself to look at bigger picture, ultimately abandoning the part of the film to not just show how he sees people around him ... But to really get to know them.... Such a brilliant film. I wonder why films nowadays never quite grasp such element. Either way.... The songs throughout.... The women with their acting...his confusion and way of handling people and off puting pressure. All done perfectly. Really great film. 5/5.
