Amarcord
Amarcord
Directed by Federico Fellini
(Italy, 1974, Digital restoration, in Italian with English subtitles)
Federico Fellini’s most personal film satirizes his youth in 1930s fascist Italy. Amarcord turns daily life into a circus of social rituals, adolescent desires, male fantasies, and political subterfuge.
“Fellini’s final great film ... Amarcord is like a long dance number, interrupted by dialogue, public events, and meals.” —Roger Ebert
