Winner of the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 1975, Federico Fellini's Amarcord is his most sentimental and unabashedly romantic film, a satirical send-up of the director's youth in provincial Italy during Mussolini's dictatorial rule. The film centers around Titta and his passage into adulthood and all its complications: politics, sex, family. Unlike many of Fellini's other films which use surrealism or symbolism to drive the plot, Fellini relies solely on his own memories and lush visual storytelling to create both a moving and comical masterpiece.
