Why you should trust this score
How we stay independent. Editorial scores are not for sale. TVI may take on paid advisory or research work, but no commercial relationship buys coverage, advance access to scores, favorable treatment, or a change to a published finding. We pay for our own streaming subscriptions, and no reviewer sees sponsor data or affiliate revenue tied to a score. More about how we work →
The TVI Take
Federico Fellini's 1973 memoir-fiction film set in a fictionalized version of his hometown Rimini in 1930s Fascist-era Italy. The structural commitment to letting episodic-vignette structure render the protagonist's recollections of childhood and small-town Italian-Catholic cultural life is the canonical Fellini-as-memoirist work.
Won the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar.
