SYNOPSIS: This carnivalesque portrait of provincial Italy during the fascist period, the most personal film from Federico Fellini, satirizes the director¡¯s youth and turns daily life into a circus of social rituals, adolescent desires, male fantasies, and political subterfuge, all set to Nina Rota¡¯s classic, nostalgia-tinged score. The Academy Award¨Cwinning Amarcord remains one of cinema¡¯s enduring treasures.
