8 1/2 (1963)

Writer/director Guido is in pre-production for his new film -- but he hasn't yet come up with an idea. He's spending time at a spa and with his memories while fending off the constant interruptions of the crew and cast wanting to know what they should be doing. He's also juggling his wife and his brassy mistress.

This just felt like a jumble to me. There were interesting moments, but not enough of them hung together to create a cohesive whole. By the midway point, I was just looking for the finish line.
