Fellini's affectionate semi-autobiographical film about the seaside town of Rimini under the fascists. The dreamlike story narrates events in the life of a sex-obsessed boy and his anti-fascist father as they tumble through the streets in show-stoppingly beautiful scenes. Amarcord, which means "I remember," 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. Winner of the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar in 1974, this new restoration was supervised by director of photography Giuseppe Rotunno. more at janusfilms.com/amarcord 35mm
