Summary: a great Criterion Collection film. Fellini's youth revisted
Review: The film title means "I remember" This movie, filmed in Fellini's home town of Rimini is his depection of what he remembers of his own teenage years. In it we have a series of unrelated scenes which merge together to create a depiction of what life was like under Musollini's facist regime. It is a very interesting film with some humor in it. My favorite scene was when smeone had put a gramaphone (record player) in the bell tower of a local building and had "Internationale" playing on it! The police reaction is quite humorous. It is cool how the facists considered communism 'subversive'.Fellini said that is was based loosely on his own teenage years.

Summary: This work may be well Fellini's masterpiece
Review: This collections of vignettes around his early youth, still remain as an outstanding triumph in the italian cinema.
The Fellini's style still influences in this age. Watch Ettore Scola (C'erovamo tanto amati) ,Giuseppe Tornatore (Cinema Paradiso and 1900)and Kusturica (Underground).
The irreverent moods created by this only surrealistic ambassador italian are a song to the freedom , a true 'ode to the joy' and a monumental rendition to the fertile imagination.
Amarcord in my view, is the peak of Fellini as dream maker, as story teller and above all as natural and organical sense of humor, in all of its possible and imaginable frequencies, since the virginal, poignant, irreverent, bitter and austere till the most no mercy satire.
Watch this unsurpassed film in its genre.
One of the glorious achievements not only of the cinema, but the art widely speaking.

Summary: MY FAVORITE FELLINI FILM.
Review: This film has all the trademark Fellini tracking shots and surrealism, but what makes it so enjoyable to me is the rude humor. One reviewer said, "lewd and bawdy." Exactly. Shots from behind as women place their derrieres on bicycle seats almost made me wet myself. Il Duce and the Fascists are made to look ridiculous. A grandfather who amuses himself with flatulence. A mad Uncle Teo who refuses to unzip while urinating, then climbs a tree and won't come down, while screaming, "I need a woman." A group of boys masturbating together in a car while verbalizing the sexual images that are in their heads. A boy who proves his worthiness by lifting an over-weight tobacconist, then plunges his face into her ample bossom as his reward. It all makes me squeal with delight. In the film's most haunted and surreal image, some of the townsfolk go out at night in small boats to witness the passing of the luxury liner, The Rex. The liner floats by as if in a dream, and will delight lovers of FILM ART. Beautiful. Don't miss the FUNNIEST and most BEAUTIFUL foreign film to come down the pike. I like it better than 8 1/2 and consider this Fellini's MASTERPIECE. WONDERFUL STUFF from a TRUE AUTEUR.

Summary: This is an awesome film
Review: This film is funny, reflective and very visual. Fellini manages to show us a big canvas filled with characters from a small town in Italy. I just love the long camera travellings through the streets, when you start seeing weird character after weird character. The big-bosomed lady is funny, and the uncle is hilarious! A must see.

Summary: Ageless-Timeless-Genius!
Review: This film is the quintessential Felini. It is like a look at My family, with the humour andbeauty of growing up in an Italian family. The scenes are brilliant and beautifully filmed in only a style that Felini could capture! I can laugh in one second; and cry in the next, from the beauty of this film!

Summary: and i thought my uncle was nuts
Review: this is a great cast of characters that intertwine with one another to tell the story of boys growing up. great anti-facist satire, and visual comedy. perhaps the best coming-of-age film ever, amarcord gets a standing ovation at precisely the 100:00 minute mark (check it yourself) as every young mans dream comes true, in this case, 100 times over. fantastic transfer that shames my old VHS copy. check it out

Summary: Brilliant in Places
Review: This is not a coherent or particularly complex portrait of fascism, as some would have you believe. It's a collection of childhood memories that TOUCH on and occasionally illustrate aspects of fascism. It's a clever idea for a movie; others had made similar films, but this one takes it "all the way" into being a disconnected series of memories, dream-like. Woody Allen's "Radio Days" and Spike Lee's "Crooklyn" would be two later films, both quite good, that follow a similar path. In places, the film is absolutely brilliant. For me, the series of scenes that show the boys jerking around in school and wasting their days are extremely briliant, subtle, and effective.

Summary: Simply magical
Review: What could one possibly say about this crazy, freewheeling, but reflective masterpiece of carnivalesque weirdness, dreamy locales, and brilliant comedic and dramatic timing. The best scenes are the grandfather doing the "1, 2, 3" after dinner, and the crazy uncle screaming out, "I WANT A WOMAN!" Fellini is incomprable and majestic. A numero uno man!
