What Amarcord Is About

Federico Fellini's 1973 film covers a year in an Italian town under fascism. The seasons mark its sections. The townspeople repeat the same stories.

It draws on the director's own childhood. The score is by Nino Rota. Who it's for: those who like classic Italian cinema. Who it's not for: viewers expecting a connected story; the film proceeds as a sequence of scenes.
