1953 film directed by Federico Fellini

Guido Anselmi, a film director, finds himself creatively barren at the peak of his career. Urged by his doctors to rest, Anselmi heads for a luxurious resort, but a sorry group gathers—his producer, staff, actors, wife, mistress, and relatives—each one begging him to get on with the show. In retreat from their dependency, he fantasizes about past women and dreams of his childhood.

《拍电影》是电影大师费里尼的人生自述。他出生在意大利的小城里米尼，与小伙伴用书本做武器排演《伊里亚特》，用黏土和纸壳做人偶，还躲在屋子里给自己化妆，钦佩世界上每一位真正的小丑。他从不觉得自己会长大，更没想过能拍电影，然而当喊出那句“预备，开机，停”，便仿佛天生就应该干这一行。在《拍电影》中，费里尼追忆了自己的似水年华，讲述了对电影的奇思妙想，以及电影与生活之间千丝万缕的羁绊。透过他直率幽默的话语和对艺术的个性化解读，我们将在字里行间重新领略迷人的“费里尼风格”。

Casanova is a libertine, collecting seductions and sexual feats. But he is really interested in someone, and is he really an interesting person? Is he really alive?

When Gelsomina, a naïve young woman, is purchased from her impoverished mother by brutish circus strongman Zampanò to be his wife and partner, she loyally endures her husband's coldness and abuse as they travel the Italian countryside performing together. Soon Zampanò must deal with his jealousy and conflicted feelings about Gelsomina when she finds a kindred spirit in Il Matto, the carefree circus fool, and contemplates leaving Zampanò.
