Filled with colourful characters and outrageously funny moments, Amarcord presents a series of vignettes; expressions of what it was like to live under a dictatorship. The small town of Rimini is a vibrant blend of fantasy and reality. The central protagonist is a hormone driven, fourteen year old Titta (Bruno Zanin) who is obsessed with a beautiful local girl named Gradisca (Magali Noel). Titta’s sexual frustration is explored through suggestive camerawork. Fascists living in the town are satirised through Fellini’s depiction of their over-the-top parades and the exercises they perform in uniform. All of Fellini’s characters are created with both humour and humanity, making Amarcord an unforgettable cinematic experience.
