Amarcord Page #7

Synopsis: One year in a small northern Italian coastal town in the late 1930s is presented. The slightly off-kilter cast of characters are affected by time and location, the social mores dictated largely by Catholicism and the national fervor surrounding Il Duce aka Benito Mussolini and Fascism. The stories loosely center on a mid-teen named Titta and his household including his adolescent brother, his ever supportive mother who is always defending him against his father, his freeloading maternal Uncle Lallo, and his paternal grandfather who slyly has eyes and hands for the household maid. Other townsfolk include: Gradisca, the town beauty, who can probably have any man she wants, but generally has no one as most think she out of their league; Volpina, the prostitute; Giudizio, the historian; a blind accordionist; and an extremely buxom tobacconist. The several vignettes presented include: the town bonfire in celebration of spring; life at Titta's school with his classmates and teachers; Aurelio

- ey, it's raining.

Smile.

One more.

Gangway!

Stop falling all over us,

you drunkard!

Let's move into the sun,

with the bride in the center.

l've made up another rhyme,

and it goes like this:

"Though the world may be full

of things beautiful and dear,

of towns even nicer

and prettier than here -"

A little water'll do you good.

You'll have a bath for once.

Get up.

lt stopped.

Sit down and play!

A wet bride is a lucky bride.

Long live ltaly!

How will you live

so far from here?

Good-bye to you all.

Go home.

Biscein bids you good-bye.

Naso, l'm going home!

Wait for me!

l'm coming with you!

Wait! My bouquet!

Good-bye! l love you all!

Gradisca's taking off!

She's leaving.

Good-bye, Gradisca!

The puffballs!

Titta!

Where's Titta?

Shall we go fishing

in the harbor?

Titta left a while ago.

Federico Fellini

Federico Fellini, Cavaliere di Gran Croce OMRI (Italian: [fedeˈriːko felˈliːni]; 20 January 1920 – 31 October 1993) was an Italian film director and screenwriter. Known for his distinct style that blends fantasy and baroque images with earthiness, he is recognized as one of the greatest and most influential filmmakers of all time. His films have ranked, in polls such as Cahiers du cinéma and Sight & Sound, as some of the greatest films of all time. Sight & Sound lists his 1963 film 8½ as the 10th-greatest film of all time. In a career spanning almost fifty years, Fellini won the Palme d'Or for La Dolce Vita, was nominated for twelve Academy Awards, and directed four motion pictures that won Oscars in the category of Best Foreign Language Film. In 1993, he was awarded an honorary Oscar for Lifetime Achievement at the 65th Annual Academy Awards in Los Angeles.Besides La Dolce Vita and 8½, his other well-known films include La Strada, Nights of Cabiria, Juliet of the Spirits, Satyricon, Amarcord and Fellini's Casanova. more…
