Amarcord (Fellini, 1973): Prince Charles Cinema, 6pm
This 35mm presentation also screens on March 21st. Details here.
Time Out review:
Fellini at his ripest and loudest recreates a fantasy-vision of his home
town during the fascist period. With generous helpings of soap opera
and burlesque, he generally gets his better effects by orchestrating his
colourful cast of characters around the town square, on a boat outing,
or at a festive wedding. When he narrows his focus down to individual
groups, he usually limits himself to corny bathroom and bedroom jokes,
which produce the desired titters but little else. But despite the ups
and downs, it's still Fellini, which has become an identifiable
substance like salami or pepperoni that can be sliced into at any point,
yielding pretty much the same general consistency and flavour.
Here (and above) is the trailer.
