Repertory
Selected by Mitchell Kaplan
In his second collaboration with Fellini, Marcello Mastroianni plays Guido, a filmmaker suffering from “director’s block”. Amid artistic and marital difficulties, he has lost interest in his new sci-fi film that includes veiled autobiographical references. He struggles to work half-heartedly with flashbacks and dreams intruding into his reality. Winner of the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film and a constant presence on prestigious compilations of the greatest films of all time, a sampling of accolades suffice to guarantee its pedigree. “It’s Fellini’s last black-and-white picture,” wrote Jonathan Rosenbaum, “and conceivably the most gorgeous and inventive thing he ever did.” Echoed Stanley Kauffmann: “In terms of execution I cannot remember a more brilliant film.”
Step into the golden age of cinema with a series dedicated to reviving overlooked gems and timeless classics. Curated by Coral Gables Art Cinema founder Steven Krams and Books & Books owner Mitchell Kaplan, Movies We Love! brings beloved cultural treasures back to the big screen—preserving their legacy and sharing their magic with new generations of film lovers.
