Wasn't a big fan of 8½ when I saw that one over a decade ago, never watched another Fellini movie, until this one. While I do appreciate some of the visual aspects and some really bizarre scenes, not to mention a fine performance from Sutherland, found this to be tough to sit through. Far too long clocking in at 2.5 hours, it's a bit tedious and I chuckled at scenes that I don't think were meant to. This just was not my thing. 2.25/5
