  Amarcord - Rotten Tomatoes
Federico Fellini's AMARCORD, an acclaimed semiautobiographical episodic drama, examines life in a small Adriatic village just before Mussolini's reign in the 1930s.
Amarcord, easily one of Fellini's masterpieces, is at oince a personal memory film and a more detached social scrutinization of Italian society, specifically the political isolation and cultural provincialism that helped Fascism rise to power.
Amarcord could be viewed as one of the most humane films of 20th Century, and it keeps its general feel good atmosphere despite depicting having many uncomfortable, melancholic and even tragic moments.

 Amarcord (1974)
The town that he embraced in film but rejected in real life is the setting for Amarcord ("I remember"), a sentimental film for which the director put aside his trademark dream-like imagery and told the story straight, or at least the way he remembers having felt—incompetent and out of control.
From the late 1940s through the early 1960s, when Fellini was a leader in the neo-realist film movement, he produced a series of stunning and beautiful fl and white films, most featuring his incredibly talented wife, Giulietta Masina, and all autobiographical to some degree.
Amarcord is the exception—it's comprehensible—but many, like City of Women (1980), are not.

Fellini's Amarcord is a surrealistic carnival celebrating the splendor of youth.
Amarcord is thus not so much about reconstructing mirror images of the past, but rather more about how we would like to, and thus do, remember the past through our own distorted points of view.
Amarcord in my view, is the peak of Fellini as dream maker, as story teller and above all as natural and organical sense of humor, in all of its possible and imaginable frequencies, since the virginal, poignant, irreverent, bitter and austere till the most no mercy satire.

 The Criterion Collection: Amarcord by Federico Fellini
In this carnivalesque portrait of provincial Italy during the Fascist period, Federico Fellini's most personal film satirizes his 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.
Amarcord is a neologism he contrived, which comes closest to the Emiliano-Romagnolo dialect phrase mi ricordo (I remember).

The premiere recording from the Bolognese 'small Amarcord orchestra.' Fisarmonica, bugles, guitars, melodies that carry the rhythm of Balkan music with an hint of Dixieland, and with unmistakable, viral world sound that shrieks of Fellini.

 Amarcord (Federico Fellini, 1973)
Amarcord is filled with phantasmagorical gems from the director's imagination: a peacock flying through the snow alights on the piazza to signal the coming of spring; a child on his way to school encounters a herd of cows who are transformed by the early-morning fog into frightening monsters.
The visual paradox Amarcord offers in the second evening sequence store-window madonnas juxtaposed with the arrival of prostitutes–proves not so paradoxical after all, as the "fallen woman" can also be "ministering angel" or saint in the contorted Catholic logic of the feminine.
While Amarcord, as its title suggests, contains a great deal of nostalgia, Fellini's use of nostalgia as a means of romanticizing the past serves to underline his belief that fascism was based upon false ideals, and also his recognition that regret or nostalgia is as inevitable as sentiment as refusal.

 Amarcord CED Web Page
As the above banner from the back of the VideoDisc caddy states, the CED title Amarcord has continuous letterboxing from start to finish, the first video release to feature this style of mastering.
Amarcord was released exclusively on CED in January 1984, eight months before Woody Allen's Manhattan, which is often mistakenly considered the first letterboxed video release.
Letterboxing was used to a limited extent prior to Amarcord, but it was limited to just the opening or closing credits to eliminate noticeable cutoff at the edges of the television screen.
