AMARCORD (which means “I remember” in the Romagnolo dialect) is Fellini’s ultimate work of reminiscence, drawing on memories of his hometown Rimini, a seasonal resort town located on Italy’s Adriatic Sea (the same setting for his earlier classic I Vitelloni). This exclusive engagement begins February 13 through February 19 at the NuArt in Los Angeles.

Unfolding against the spectacles of Fascism in a completely imagined — and Cinecittà-created — world, AMARCORD moves across four seasons during the 1930s, with vignettes of town life and its inhabitants: the Fascist parade, with an enormous floral arrangement of Mussolini’s face; the central character “Titta” (based on a childhood friend of Fellini’s), still wearing short pants despite the painful onset of adolescence; the catastrophic family trip to the country with an uncle let out for the day from a mental hospital; bombshell “Gradisca” (Rififi’s Magalí Noël), whose adopted name means “Whatever you desire”; the fat boy who hopelessly longs for an unobtainable young virgin; “Ronald Colman,” the town Lothario; the local tobacconist, sporting the most mountainous breasts in the whole bosom-oriented Fellini oeuvre; the tall-tale-telling peddler, recounting the night he spent in a harem; Titta’s anti-fascist father, forced to “drink” to the party; the sudden appearance of a peacock in the square amidst a freakish snowfall; and the rush to view the magical nighttime passage of the super-liner Rex—all underlined by one of the most haunting of Nino Rota’s Fellini scores.
