AMARCORD (2DISC VERSION)

A film which breathes freedom--a nostalgic, fantastic and funny reminiscence of growing up in Fellini's home town of Rimini--made, Fellini said, to finish with youth and tenderness. Against the comic background are sets of indelible characters and an omnipresent Fascist state. Amarcord breathlessly shifts between the melodramatic, the intimate and the burlesque in what is a deeply personal, shared vision. The images--a peacock flying through the snow, a child on his way to school who encounters cows that the early-morning fog has transformed into monsters--are like icons; unforgettable. In Italian with Federico Fellini---Italy---1974---127 mins.

A cast of typically Fellini-esque characters joins on a voyage to scatter the ashes of a famous diva in the ocean. The scenario is ripe for Fellini's great flights of fantasy and also functions as both a criticism of the European aristocracy of old and a nostalgic look back at it. "A tongue-in-cheek ode to a vanished era of beauty and art" (Bruce Williamson, Playboy). With Freddie Jones, Victor Poletti, Peter Cellier, Elisa Mainardi and Paolo Paolini. In Italian with English subtitles. Federico Fellini---Italy---1984---132 mins.

The young, restless men in a small town on the Adriatic are, each in his own way, discontent. They spend their time pursuing diversion and girls, vaguely dreaming impossible pipe dreams. This brilliant, acid-sharp look at a generation nevertheless reveals Fellini's affection for his characters. The film "is the story of adolescents who cannot see anything more in life than satisfying their animal desires, sleeping, eating, fornication. I was trying to say there is something more, there is always more. Life must have a meaning beyond the animal" (Fellini). In Italian with English subtitles. Federico Fellini---Italy---1953---104 mins.

Fellini's movie combines the film-within-a-film, the essay memoir, a playful recollection of previous works and an eerie conflating of the past and present in this surreal and imaginative distillation of a man's life and work. As Fellini prepares to adapt Kafka's Amerika, his every move and gesture is captured by a Japanese documentary crew. The structure allows Fellini to delve into his past, with visits from Marcello Mastroianni and Anita Ekberg and profound remembrances of La Dolce Vita. "An enchanting work, a magical mixture of recollection, parody, memoir, satire, self-examination, and joyous fantasy with Fellini himself as the master of ceremonies" (Vincent Canby, New York Times). In Italian with English subtitles. Federico Fellini---Italy---1987---109 mins.

"Within a simple, naively romantic narrative frame concerning a wife's desperation over her husband's philanderings, director Federico Fellini has put together an imperial-size fantasy of a physical opulence to make the old Vincente Minnelli musicals look like Army training films," wrote Vincent Canby. Giulietta Masina stars in one of Fellini's best. Newly mastered from a beautiful print. In Italian with English subtitles. Federico Fellini---Italy---1965---137 mins.

"A landmark of cinematic social comment," wrote one critic about Fellini's journey through a decadent Rome. Banned by the Church in many countries, the sensationalism of the film often obscured its serious intent. La Dolce Vita follows a society journalist (Marcello Mastroianni) through a nightmarish world in which emotions have been destroyed by surface realities, moral conventions and unresolved guilt. With Anita Ekberg, Anouk Aimee, Alain Cuny and Nadia Gray. In Italian with English subtitles. Federico Fellini---Italy---1961---174 mins.

Fellini's masterpiece. Giulietta Masina plays Gelsomina, a tragic waif sold to play clown to traveling show strongman Zampano (Anthony Quinn). "Simplicity itself, La Strada is a magical tale and an unbearably painful account of loneliness which will always be associated with the sublimely Chaplinesque Masina...but Quinn, too, is superb, particularly in the final revelation of his own heartbreak and isolation." With Richard Basehart and Aldo Silvani. In Italian with English subtitles. Federico Fellini---Italy---1954---107 mins.

Roberto Benigni (Life is Beautiful) stars as a visionary free-spirit who finds himself caught a variety of surreal episodes in a world that has seemingly gone mad.
