Professor Picks: "8 1/2", Princeton Garden Theater

Wednesday September 20, 2023
7:00 PM

This surreal tale — part autofiction, part reflection on filmmaking itself — is driven by Marcello Mastroianni’s performance as an Italian film director who retreats to a spa resort to search his memories for inspiration for his next project while navigating both the pressures of working as a high-profile director and the complications of his fraught romantic life. Post-film discussion led by Gaetana Marrone-Puglia, a professor in and associate chair of Princeton University's Department of French and Italian. $13.50.

160 Nassau Street, Princeton, 609-279-1999. www.thegardentheatre.com.
