Fellini's Roma
A benchmark of the Italian New Wave, Fellini tears through Rome's political and religious history, satirizing the Catholic church and various faces of Italian government from Renaissance times through Mussolini's reign and on into the 1960s. With no real chronology, Roma is a tapestry of bizarre scenes and familiar images that blend together into a gorgeous visual carnival.

I'm Not There
Inspired by the music and many lives of Bob Dylan, the film features no figure by that name, but presents six characters (played by actors ranging from Cate Blanchett to Heath Ledger), each incarnating different stages in the artist's career. The chronology is purposefully non-linear, and cuts rapidly, between cinéma vérité black-and-white and saturated color, creating more post-modern puzzle than by-the-numbers biopic.

Where The Wild Things Are
