AMARCORD doesn't follow a traditional story structure. In order for that work, the characters needed to be interesting enough for the audience to care about the random situations in their everyday lives. Only some of them are. None of the actors stand out (positively or negatively). The humour is a little childish (and I don't mean just the scenes with kids), but I did laugh from time to time. 6/10 ------------------------------------- You can read comments of other movies in my blog. |

I was working in a theater as a projectionist and made up a new show that included trailers.This was pre-automation, so these previews were spliced together on a single reel. I think the feature was from Walt Disney. Anyway one trailer was for "Amarcord" and like the others it had a green band. Well, it hit the screen and there was this quick shot of a kid caught between a topless lady's massive....well, you pick your favorite word. An irate mother in the audience marched out and found the manager to complain. He later told me that her son, who she felt had been traumatized was grinning about it. The trailer should have had a red band that denoted it could only be shown with features rated "R" or "X"...green banded trailers could be shown with anything. |

It's a movie I'm glad to have seen but never feel like revisiting. Generally, I enjoy many of Federico Fellini's films. I just can't seem to warm up to this exercise in nostalgia. I prefer Fellini's 'Roma' (1972), released the previous year.
I do like the comedy 'Rimini Rimini' (1987) from director Sergio Corbucci, as an alternate vision of Rimini. Thanks for the review.
