Amarcord

Although the action is set in 1935, its division into seasons embracing a childhood's worth of recollections gives the film a timeless universality...

If ever there was a movie made entirely out of nostalgia and joy, by a filmmaker at the heedless height of his powers, that movie is Federico Fellini’s “Amarcord.”

...if you've a taste for Federico's personal brand of flamboyant baroque, there's plenty of fun on offer...

There is hardly a character in AMARCORD left unscathed by Fellini's biting wit, yet the director manages to present them lovingly.
