RASHOMON (JAPAN 1950 AKIRA KUROSAWA

8 1/2 (ITALY 1963) FEDERICO FELLINI
A film director has lost the inspiration for his next film - and it's too late to back out. Under pressure from his wife, mistress and friends he retreats into dreams. Possibly Fellini's autobiography, certainly a great film. Starring Marcello Mastroianni.

Britain's forgotten cinematic masterpiece, shot in two halves, two years apart. Working class Liverpool in the 1940s and 50s is evoked through authentic, emotional memories - with music. A unique vision. Pete Postlethwaite stars.
