As I told in previous occasions, I'm not a huge Fellini's fan. Nonetheless, Amarcord is a fascinating movie. Can't really tell you much about. You know how Fellini's cinema is....just magic! I will just explain what Amarcord means. It means "I remember" in Romagna dialect. Oh, and I'll just tell you to pay attention to the Gradisca character. She will say an unforgettable line.
I don't want realism. I want magic! Yes, yes, magic. I try to give that to people. I do misrepresent things. I don't tell the truth. I tell what ought to be truth (Blanche/A streetcar named desire)
