Movie

Amarcord (1973)
Amarcord
Federico Fellini actor: Pupella Maggio / Armando Brancia …
other title: Amarcord - mig og min familie
En Fellini-film ligner ikke nogen anden og da slet ikke den festlige Amarcord, der vandt en Oscar som årets bedste udenlandske film i 1974. Titlen betyder "jeg husker", og den fortæller om folk og fæ i Fellinis egen hjemby, Rimini, ved Adriaterhavskysten under fascismen. Federico Fellini satiriserer over sit ungdomsliv og beskriver dagliglivet i byen som et cirkus af sociale ritualer, ungdommelige lyster, mandlige fantasier og politiske udflugter.
