Full Plot Details

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 mid-teen 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: town beauty Gradisca, who can probably have any man she wants but generally has none 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; Titta's father Aurelio at his beachfront construction worksite and his and his workmates' encounter with Volpina; Titta's confessions to the priest about his burgeoning sexuality; Aurelio being questioned by authorities about his anti-Fascist leanings; a fantasy sequence at the luxurious Grand Hotel; a family outing with Aurelio's institutionalized brother Teo; many townsfolk embarking on a sail to witness a marine event passing by their town; an annual car race; Titta's fantasy encounter with the tobacconist after closing hours coming true; events surrounding the big snowfall that year, including a family tragedy; and an event centering on Gradisca and her future.

Movie Reviews

Philadelphia Weekly - 10/10 by Sean BurnsWatching the movie feels like flipping through a cartoon sketchbook of Fellini's vivid remembrances and formative experiences.
Flick Filosopher - 10/10 by MaryAnn Johanson[S]imply nonsensical to me. Fascists are idiots, Catholic priests are clowns -- I agree with this. So why don't I feel it?
Los Angeles Times - 10/10 by Kevin ThomasHe [Director Fellini] leaves us with the hope that the human comedy just may be able to survive everything.
Cinema Writer - 10/10 by Jay AntaniA vulgar, crassly funny, tender, always affectionate nostalgia trip, Fellini style.
Chicago Sun-Times - 10/10 by Roger EbertA totally accessible film. It deals directly, hilariously, and sometimes poignantly with the good people of this small town.
New York Times - 10/10 by Vincent CanbyWhen Mr. Fellini is working in peak condition, as he is in Amarcord, he somehow brings out the best in us.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) - 10/10 by Ken HankeImages of such stunning beauty that you feel you're actually inside Fellini's mind, seeing the things he remembers -- in a highly colored fashion -- from childhood.
Combustible Celluloid - 10/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonWhat's so surprising about this film is just how loose and effortlessly enjoyable it is, despite all its ideas and images. It's one of the director's very best.
Apollo Guide - 9/10 by Derek SmithIn his own unique style, Federico Fellini has created a beautiful work of art that is as amusing as it is inspiring.
Filmcritic.com - 9/10 by Christopher NullIt's the more fanciful and lighthearted first half of the film (obviously a big inspiration for some of Woody Allen's work) that works the best.
