AMARCORD (1973)
Directed by Frederico Fellini
123 minutes
In Italian with English subtitles

This is Federico Fellini's resurrection film, and it remains one of the most endearing pieces of celluloid that has ever existed. Fellini\'s 1974 fantasy-memoir of life in his hometown on the Italian coast (Rimini) is basically the full palette of experience--sex, family politics, fascism, longing, poetry--all with his uniquely surreal twist.

Don't expect a normal formulaic narrative in this film, but more a river of loosely connected memories that take place over the course of four seasons, all occurring while Mussolini's fascist government takes power in Italy.

The loose structure is never unfocused, and allows Fellini carte blanche to have total freedom to create the kinds of magical images he is known for.

This is Fellini's last masterpiece (in my eyes), and it is a tribute to life, cinema, Italy and the memories we keep bottled up inside us.
