Director: Federico Fellini, Italy 1974, 123 mins, 15<\/p>\n

“Amarcord<\/i> is as full of tales as Scherherazade, some romantic, some slapstick, some elegiacal, some bawdy, some as mysterious as the unexpected sight of a peacock flying through a light snowfall. It’s a film of exhilarating beauty.” Vincent Canby, New York Times <\/i> (1974)<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Fellini, in his most personal film, satirises the pre-war provincial fascist Italy of his adolescence using tableaux of a daily life of social rituals, fantasies, adolescent desires and the politics of the time. Fellini at his finest!<\/p>\n

\n
“This Fellini opus is his most accessible to mass audiences since La Dolce Vita<\/i> . Elements of earthiness and sentiment are relevant to his purpose. Fellini\u2019s traditionally generous dosage of fantasy and poetry are subordinated to the grotesque, the macabre, the sentimental.” Variety<\/i><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
