1973: Amarcord

For his memories of a small town in pre-war fascist Italy, Fellini didn't bother to come up with a plot, instead presenting a series of vignettes. Very well photographed by Guiseppe Rotunno, the film, though entertaining, ultimately suffers from the internal contradiction of trying to make a grotesque and a poetic picture at the same time. (7)
