In his carnivalesque portrait of provincial Italy during the Fascist period, Federico Fellini satirizes his youth and turns daiIy life into a circus of social rituaIs, adoIescent desires, male fantasies, and poIiticaI subterfuge, alI set to Nino Rota's classic, nostaIgia-tinged score. The Academy Award-winning Amarcord was one of FeIlini's most personal - and popular - films, and it remains one of cinema's enduring treasures. |
