A series of comedic and nostalgic vignettes set in a 1930s Italian coastal town.
Basically a typically meandering stream of anecdotes and images without a
plot Fellini manages to create a phantasm of small-town Italy,
frivolous, ribald, nostalgic, tragic and humorous all at the same time.
Very enjoyable.
A loving autobiographical tale of a bygone Italian time is both melancholic and satirical full of lively, exciting scenes, but always with a keen eye for realism and the surrealist aspects of life.
Halliwell**: "A bizarre, intriguing mixture of fact, fantasy and obscurity, generally pleasing to watch though hardly satisfying..."
Maltin***1/2: "...warm, poignant, bawdy episodes..."
