Amarcord/ dvd [US-Version, Regio 1/ A]
Criterion Collection: Amarcord

Amarcord (The Criterion Collection) DVD

This carnivalesque portrait of provincial Italy during the fascist period, the most personal film from Federico Fellini, satirizes the director's youth and turns daily life into a circus of social rituals, adolescent desires, male fantasies, and political subterfuge, all set to Nina Rota's classic, nostalgia-tinged score. The Academy Award-winning Amarcord remains one of cinema's enduring treasures.
