Amacord, one of Federico Fellini's most personally telling films, opens at the Landmark Nuart Theater in Santa Monica today for a limited engagement. Told through a series of narratives from each of the main character's perspectives, the film follows some of Fellini's childhood experiences in the seaside village of Rimini, set against the peak of Fascism in Italy in the 1930s. For those who may be unfamiliar with Fellini, his style is boldly unique and is considered by some to be an acquired taste. Personally, we find the boldness refreshing. There is a surreal quality in his storytelling that begs us to take a step back in time, both in the physical world and in the intangible depths of memory. His use of imagery is often stunningly vivid and unforgettable and sets the tone for a lengthy, dreamlike memoir. more ›
