Foreign Film: Amarcord (Italian with English subtitles)

Tuesday, October 13 | 5:00 pm
Student Union Theatre

Amarcord ranks as one of the most honored foreign films of the 70s. Through the story of Titta, a boy on the brink of manhood, director Federico Fellini looks back on his own youth with affection and humor. This ode to the past recalls the time, the place, and especially the people: Titta’s bickering parents, the egotistical theater owner, and the town’s sexy beautician. Fellini portrays the tender and silly diversion of a small Italian coastal village in the 1930s. (Rated R. 127 minutes.)
