Federico Fellini’s reminiscences (the title means “I remember”) of growing up in the Italian provinces at the time of Mussolini.
Reviewed by Chris Tookey


No masterpiece of narrative structure - but its series of fragmented episodes and images, mostly joyful but some melancholic, make this an evocatively nostalgic quasi-autobiography. There's a darker side too: it's a memorable portrait of a people's childlike submission to fascist authority.
