Fellini 8 1/2 (Saraghina)

Uses stylized sets, unconventional editing and a haunting melody to evoke a strange blend of memory, dream and fantasy, involving an interview with the Cardinal during which the mind of Guido wanders back to childhood when he ran away from his Catholic boarding school to watch the aging prostitute Saraghina dance by the sea.
