Federico Fellini's Amarcord winner of best Foreign language film
Just happened to have stumbled upon this Italian movie in a local very small public
county library. Have been to this library molte volte and had never seen this
movie there. Has anybody else seen it?
Winner of the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 1975, Federico Fellini's Amarcord
is his most sentimental and unabashedly romantic film, a satirical send-up of the director's
youth in provincial Italy during Mussolini's dictatorial rule. The film centers around Titta
and his passage into adulthood and all its complications: politics, sex, family. Unlike many
of Fellini's other films which use surrealism or symbolism to drive the plot, Fellini relies
solely on his own memories and lush visual storytelling to create both a moving and comical masterpiece.
A proposito. The movie speaks very badly of the Mussolini and his Facists.
