SHOWTIMES AT IFC CENTER

“An immersion into the bittersweet work of remembering. I think the folds and unfolds of memory have never been translated into images in a more masterful way. Fellini here tries to connect the dots between the memories of his childhood, leading up to the building of a dreamlike world which becomes his own mythology. It’s a late film he called “a last goodbye”. Yet it vibrates with life and stamina of his childhood fantasies. If life doesn’t come full circle, the memory of it might.” -Julia Ducournau

This carnivalesque portrait of provincial Italy during the fascist period, the most personal film from Federico Fellini, satirizes the director’s 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.

Screening as part of Julia Ducournau: Carte Blanche, Ducornau’s latest, ALPHA, opens Friday, March 27.
