About Amarcord

Amarcord invites you into a vivid, semi-autobiographical journey through 1930s Fascist Italy, as seen through the eyes of young Titta. This captivating blend of comedy and drama is directed by the renowned Federico Fellini, who masterfully weaves a satirical critique of provincial Italian life during the height of the fascist period. Set in the fictional seaside town of Borgo San Giuliano, near the ancient ruins of Rimini, Amarcord is a carnivalesque portrait filled with eccentric characters and absurd behavior. The film is not just a story but an experience, transporting you to a time and place rich with history and personal reflection. With its unique blend of genres, Amarcord offers a rich tapestry of choral and medieval influences, making it a must-watch for those who appreciate cinema that is both entertaining and thought-provoking.
