I Vitelloni
Directed by Federico Fellini
Five young men dream of success as they drift lazily through life in a small Italian village. Fausto, the group's leader, is a womanizer; Riccardo craves fame; Alberto is a hopeless dreamer; Moraldo fantasizes about life in the city; and Leopoldo is an aspiring playwright. As Fausto chases a string of women, to the horror of his pregnant wife, the other four blunder their way from one uneventful experience to the… From TMDB

positive · AI labelView post →#lastfourwatched I VITELLONI--Fellini, billed as a comedy; didn't laugh once AND THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH--Australian experimental film GOSTA BERLING'S SAGA--early silent Garbo BABEL--brilliant but also somewhat depressing
negative · AI labelView post →Now watching: ‘I Vitelloni’, dir. Federico Fellini, 1953. 🎬🎥🤌
neutral · AI labelView post →funny to think that, at the time American Graffiti came out, it was an experimental new wave style film (riffing on Amarcord and I Vitelloni, hence the name of the movie), and people were thought doom to failure
neutral · AI labelView post →He is a big fan of "I Vitelloni" for a couple of reasons and Peter Sellers is the second reason. While making a movie in LA, Peter rented the Aidikoff screening room and they were to see THAT film, but it couldn't be found. Instead, they showed "The Producers". He pushed for a massive open of it.
neutral · AI labelView post →I don't think there is any real order but 8 1⁄2 , La Dolce Vita - 2 everyone usually knows of first for obvious reasons. I Vitelloni because of the biographical element. #filmsky Strada, Cabiria & Juliet of the Spirits as a trio because Giulia. This also helpful www.imdb.com/title/tt0407...

neutral · AI labelView post →Anthony Burgess once asked notoriously curmudgeonly critic John Simon if there was a single film in existence that he unreservedly liked, and Simon replied "I Vitelloni". So Burgess relayed the news of this extraordinary achievement to Fellini, only to be told that he'd never heard of John Simon.

Producer Jan Harlan stated Kubrick did have heroes: Ingmar Bergman, Stephen Spielberg, Federico Fellini. Kubrick once listed Fellini’s I Vitelloni (1953) as “a” favorite film.

neutral · AI labelView post →I really like La Strada as well, but I identify with I, Vitelloni more strongly. As a huge fan of Scorsese's Mean Streets I had carried the impact and influence of the film a long time before finally seeing it. Its montage ending, incorporating the ensemble, is really special.

neutral · AI labelView post →I will admit that I still struggle to quite understand the awe Fellini seems to generate amongst fans. His films are beautifully shot but usually involve the most shallow of individuals faffing around in a vacuous world of privilege and emptiness. This one is much the same - "Fausto" (Franco Fabrizi) is a bit of a playboy who is stuck in an unhappy marriage with the sister of his friend "Moraldo" (Franco Interlenghi). He still plays away from home, and she usually forgives him until at last she…
