Wonderful to see this film again... part circus, part theater, part movie... part vaudeville... about life in a small Italian town under Musolinni... but generally not politica,l and that, in part , is what it's about... people's real preoccupations are focused on every-day life.....

Watched this several times when it first came out and treasure it now years later. It is a charming movie about the director's early life and has an incredible sound track by Nino Rota

Fellini's memories of fart jokes, trashy, stupid people, etc.

Beautiful film.

Huge canvass of memories from a great director in his prime.

Joseph, glad that you 'at-least'added the "iTALLIAN" reference. Egocentricity of English speaking North American's is astounding. Assuming that you are Canadian that is. How do you refer to Hollywood films?!? As they are also 'foreign'! Canada has it's own very significant film industry and as you are likely well aware, Canadians are very prominent and powerful in the US industry. Film making began in Europe, France to be precise. California became a main centre for film largely because of the varied climate and extremely varied terrain, and is actually the most INTERNATIONAL, film making centre of the world. Most of the early powerful and talented film actors and directors came to "Hollywood" from Europe, some not very proficient in English at all. Many countries have a huge Industry, as a matter of fact India has the largest in terms of production and audience, and their 'star' status rivals that of anywhere. To not appreciate Felini's Amarcord, one must have grown up in a very close-minded, limited environment, (a vacuum) or live in denial as an adult. The film is an anthropological artistic masterpiece about people and behavior. It demonstrates the fractural reality of humanity in that almost any town can be used as an analogy of the human world. Fractural, referring to patterns within patterns repeating on different size scales. To understand and appreciate the genius of Felini's film and work in general, read a copy of MY RIMINI, an essay by him, explaining where the inspiration for the film comes from. O f course you may be of the school that film is strictly for entertainment and not to be considered for serious artistic statement , which is perfectly fine; but even from the approach of pure entertainment, I cannot understand anyone not appreciating Amarcord. If you just want a good laugh, it is as funny as some of Chaplin's work.

Brilliant film by Fellini- makes a great double bill with " Roma " ( also by Fellini ).

The most vulgar film ever made. Utterly worthless!

Brilliant.

One of my favourite films. Beautifully filmed, funny and poignent, a wonderful remembrance.
