Amarcord
Dir: Federico Fellini
1973
*****
Many would suggest that Amarcord is now a little dated, maybe it is but what a time. This film is hilarious and riddled with classic funny scenes that you've just got to love. Fellini's childhood, warts and all, are remembered here, all fondly, no matter what regret or want to forget exist. It is a magical window into the life of a colourful village set in the 1930's, with all walks of life, emotion and personal issues covered. The scenes on Fascism are piratically poignant and although it can seem a little 'Carry on' at times, there is nothing I can say I dislike about it, quite the opposite in fact.
