ChatGPT is back and it is ready to pick another film for us. CODY IS BACK! and we are happy about it. This week Cody chooses the film that chatGPT gaffes us from another legendary Italian director Federico Fellini, “8 1/2” This film is a film about film and a story about the director himself. A master of the surreal style and arguably the father or surrealism, this film really took us on a journey. The film deals with women, film, life, choices, regret, and love. This film should be watched side-by-side with “Bardo” (2022) a modern masterclass on surrealism. The team is split on this film but we have plenty to talk about. We hope you enjoy!
