AMARCORD Review: Part I
There are the fantasy and tall tale sequences at the hotel, narrated by the Lawyer (Luigi Rossi) &#8212; one of several Fourth Wall breakers &#8212; the fantasy marriage of fat boy Ciccio to sexy Aldina at the behest of the floral image of Mussolini, and the townsfolk rowing out to see the fantastical America-bound luxury liner, The Rex. 
Nino Rota&#8217;s score is the best thing in the film, though Giuseppe Rotunno&#8217;s cinematography is not far behind, especially in the sunset scene where Uncle Teo is coaxed down from the apple tree and back to the asylum. 
The Criterion Collection&#8217;s  two-disc DVD is a great improvement on the 1998 single-disc edition. It is a radiant film transfer, [...]]]></description>

By Dan Schneider of Cosmoetica:
Federico Fellini&#8217;s  Amarcord  has often been linked with Ingmar Bergman&#8217;s   Fanny &#38; Alexander as films made by old men looking back on their youth. While this is true,  Amarcord has a loose narrative structure in which the lives of many characters are detailed in comic vignettes whereas Fanny &#38; Alexander is a straight drama. 
In fact, Amarcord shares a deeper affinity with another work that was obviously influenced by it: Woody Allen&#8217;s grossly underrated Radio Days. Which of [...]]]></description>

Next January, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will be presenting &#34;From Amarcord to Z: Posters from Fifty Years of Foreign Language Film Award Winners.&#34; The exhibition will open to the public in the Academy&#8217;s Grand Lobby Gallery on January 19, 2007. Admission is free.
