Close Watch with Robert Yaniz Jr.'8 1/2' (featuring Brian Susbielles of InSession Film)In the interest of providing broader coverage of cinema history, we always love the chance to cover either a classic or foreign release.

Brian Susbielles of InSession Film joins the show to help us dig into Fellini's masterpiece. We'll discuss why 8 1/2 has endured as one...2020-03-2853 min $Certains l\'aiment à chaud !
