Story Synopsis:
Federico Fellini’s Amarcord is a satirical portrait of daily life in provincial Italy during the 1930s at the height of the Fascist period when Mussolini’s dictatorship had its greatest popular support. It won an Academy Award® for Best Foreign Film in 1974 and is considered one of his most outstanding accomplishments. While nostalgic, Amarcord is a political work that, among other things, compares fascism and adolescence.
LaserDisc Picture:
The 1.95:1 matted picture was transferred from a 35mm interpositive that ,with the exception of slight noise in the darker scenes is superb. Blacks are deep and solid and color fidelity is excellent except for some fleshtone inconsistencies.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The soundtrack is undistinguished mono that is distorted with a bright edge.
