Amarcord

Based on the filmmaker's recollections of youth in the small seaside town of Rimini in pre-war Italy, the story centers around a young man who longs for the freedom of adulthood, but cannot quite leave the safety of adolescence. Fellini celebrates the sense of kinship that exists among the inhabitants but also reveals serious shortcomings - political naivete and narrowness - weaknesses which pave the way for fascism.
