The actor Hume Cronyn once stated that he doesn't like to see movies more than once because he gets about as much as he can out of them on the first viewing. The few time that friends dragged him to a second viewing, he did not have a good time. He then went on to say that he had seen "8½" five times.
This is the movie Oroboros, a film about a director with artistic block trying to make a film about what turns out to be his struggle to make this film, directed by Fellini, who was having the same struggles in real life. Get it?
Rota's scores for Fellinis films were always perfect. This one is perfect plus.
