    Fellini's Rimini and times
  

*by D***I on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 August 2012*

Amarcord (Federico Fellini, 1973, 124')Amarcord is a 1973 Italian comedy-drama, a semi-autobiographical coming-of-age tale about Titta, an adolescent boy growing up among an eccentric cast of characters in the fictional town of Borgo (based on Fellini's hometown of Rimini) in 1930s Fascist Italy. The film's title is Romagnol for "I remember". Titta's sentimental education is emblematic of Italy's "lapse of conscience". It skewers Mussolini's ludicrous posturings and those of a Catholic Church, which "imprisoned Italians in a perpetual adolescence", by mocking himself and his fellow villagers in comic scenes that underline their incapacity to adopt genuine moral responsibility, or outgrow foolish sexual fantasies.Federico Fellini (1920-1993) was a film director and scriptwriter. Known for a distinct style that blends fantasy and baroque images, he is considered one of the most influential filmmakers of the 20th century. Amarcord won the 1975 Oscar for Best Foreign Film - his fifth after La Strada (1954), Le notti di Cabiria (1957), 8½ (Otto e Mezzo, 1963), I clowns (1970). The film was destined to be Fellini's last major commercial success. I have already written for amazon uk my reviews number 20 on La dolce vita (1960), 105 on Boccaccio '70‬ (episode Le tentazioni del dottor Antonio, 1962), ‬‬‬‬106 on Histoires extraordinaires (episode Toby Dammit, 1968), and for amazon us 50us on E la nave va (1983). Other major films are I vitelloni (1953), Roma (1972), Il Casanova di Federico Fellini (1976), and Ginger e Fred (1986).Released in Italy in December 1973, Amarcord was an "unmitigated success". Critic Giovanni Grazzini, reviewing for the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera, described Fellini as "an artist at his peak" and the film as the work of a mature, more refined director whose "autobiographical content shows greater insight into historical fact and the reality of a generation. Almost all of Amarcord is a macabre dance against a cheerful background".Russell Davies, British film critic and later a BBC radio host, compared the film to the work of Thornton Wilder and Dylan Thomas: "The pattern is cyclic... A year in the life of a coastal village, with due emphasis on the seasons, and the births, marriages and deaths. It is an Our Town or Under Milk Wood of the Adriatic seaboard, concocted and displayed in the Roman film studios with the latter-day Fellini's distaste for real stone and wind and sky. The people, however, are real, and the many non-actors among them come in all the shapes and sizes one cares to imagine."In his review, American senior critic Roger Ebert, noted: "It's also absolutely breathtaking filmmaking. Fellini has ranked for a long time among the five or six greatest directors in the world, and of them all, he's the natural. Ingmar Bergman achieves his greatness through thought and soul-searching, Alfred Hitchcock built his films with meticulous craftsmanship, and Luis Buñuel used his fetishes and fantasies to construct barbed jokeabout humanity. But Fellini... well, moviemaking for him seems almost effortless, like breathing, and he can orchestrate the most complicated scenes with purity and ease."I have here made an effort to keep this review to reasonable length. There is hardly anything to add. The plot alone would have taken a few pages - I suggest you see the film or get the dvd. If you are still curious, read it up in Wikipedia; I further suggest that, instead, I here list the cast, most of whom were not trained actors, in recognition of their performance. Grazie a tutti!Cast: Bruno Zanin as Titta, Magali Noël as Gradisca, hairdresser, Pupella Maggio as Miranda Biondi, Titta's mother, Armando Brancia as Aurelio Biondi, Titta's father, Giuseppe Ianigro as Titta's grandfather, Nando Orfei as Lallo or "Il Pataca", Titta's uncle, Ciccio Ingrassia as Teo, Titta's uncle, Stefano Proietti as Oliva, Titta's brother, Donatella Gambini as Aldina Cordini, Gianfranco Marrocco as Son of count, Ferdinando De Felice as Cicco, Bruno Lenzi as Gigliozzi, Bruno Scagnetti as Ovo, Alvaro Vitali as Naso, Francesco Vona as Candela, Maria Antonietta Beluzzi as the tobacconist. Story and Co-script: Tonino Guerra,  Music: Nino Rota,  Cinematographer: Giuseppe Rotunno,  Film editing: Ruggero  Mastroianni.

    Warning - Dubbed version in modern American English
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 May 2024*

Do not watch this as it is dubbed really, really badly into modern American. Much better to watch the criterion version with Italian language and English subtitles. It’s an amazing work of cinema - but this dubbing ruins it beyond repair. There are no other language options.

    A great film but also so personal that might divide the audience
  

*by E***I on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 August 2015*

ONe of Fellini's best and most celebrated films. Probably his most personal along with I Vitelloni, Giulietta degli Spiriti and 8 1/2.This is also the most rooted and inspired by his past and kid's life in the small town and countryside of northern italy, before he became one of the main narrator of Rome.Amarcord (meaning "my memories") is a mix of dream and rude reality, of peasant colorful habits and myths, of old fascist italy imaginery and artistic elaboration of youth and memory. Something made years after the events, and therefore filtered by a grown up man who saw much else while still feel he belongs to that age, a collective and personal one, where all seems to be suspended and there, and now is gone. Probably you will not appreciate some details and colors of the language and the manners that so clearly characterize the setting and people depicted in the film, but I would be really interested to see what's the point of view and vision of non-italian viewers.A great blu ray edition.
