Frederico Fellini's film, Amarcord was released in 1973 by F.C. Produzioni and immediately received rave reviews. It won an Academy Award for the Best Foreign Language film that year. Although it does not concentrate on a single specific character, some of the main actors in the film were Magali Noel (as Gradisca), Bruno Zanin (as Titta Biondi), Pupella Maggio (as Miranda Biondi, Titta's Mother), Armando Brancia (as Aurelio Biondi, Titta's Father), and Josianne Tanzilli (as the prostitute).

"Fellini is so bountiful with incident and observation that he makes most other film makers seem stingy. Stories, anecdotes, often just images succeed each other in splendid profusion..." - Jay Cocks, Time Magazine

"A plotless, hero-less movie that's more interested in the ebb and flow of life in general, Amarcord immerses us in the everyday occurrences of the titular town as it concerns various residents. It's vibrant stuff yet, in its empty sentiment and rambling inconsequence, it highlights the limits of Fellini's vision... [It] is like riding the middle float in a street parade." -Jamie Russell, Channel 4 film

"Amarcord will make you howl with laughter and then choke back a tear. And all the while you'll be building your own memories of this landmark movie."- Robert W. Butler, Kansas City Star

"Amarcord, easily one of Fellini's masterpieces, is at once a personal memory film and a more detached social scrutinization of Italian society, specifically the political isolation and cultural provincialism that helped Fascism rise to power." - Emanuel Levy, EmanuelLevy.Com

Amarcord is a semi-autobiographical account of Federico Fellini's childhood, just before Mussolini's reign, in a small, yet exciting village off the Adriatic coast. The village holds a symbolic bonfire to represent new life at the turn of the season, from winter into spring. Everyone gathers together for this festival, and it is the first of many such festivals that occur with people gathering at the city square. At each of these festivals, all the town members come out extremely colorfully and do nothing to hide their unusual, comical, and bizarre personalities. The plot structure is often-times unclear to the watcher, as it does not consistently follow a single character (though it does, at several points, follow Titta around, who wanders the provincial countryside, often obsessing about sex and meeting unusual characters.). Fellini shows all the beauty as well the grotesque of this time and culture (the politics, family matters, sex, and violence) in Italy, and clashes them together, forming the Academy Award winning film, Amarcord.
