Henry Jaglom
8½
Henry Jaglom champions one of the most fought-over films in the book.
Numerous directors, from Terry Gilliam to Kimberly Peirce, have pointed
to Federico Fellini’s self-referential masterwork as the film that turned them
on to directing. For this book, Jaglom just got there first—with an insightful,
fun conversation and tangential stories too numerous to include.
Of 8½, Jaglom says, “I was set on that path by Fellini. Film can be either
autobiographical or emotionally autobiographical, if not literally autobiographical.”
