Mar. 12 – In 1963 Federico Fellini created his autobiographical masterpiece, “8½,” a portrait of a director in a crisis who thinks back on his life and the meaning of existence itself. In “8½,” dreams, nightmares and memories become real. And now, after 52 years, the film – considered one of the best films of all time – will be presented in its restored version at the Umberto Agnelli Auditorium of the Italian Cultural Institute in Tokyo, with Japanese subtitles. It’s the perfect occasion to understand and appreciate a film that left a mark in the history of Italian cinema. On March 13 at 6pm, the screening begins, after a brief introduction in Japanese by Prof. Oshiba Yasuji. The movie, which won the Oscar in 1963 for Best Foreign Film and Best Costumes, stars Marcello Mastroianni, Claudia Cardinale, Anouk Aimée, Sandra Milo and Rossella Falk. (Red)
