Review of Amarcord

Amarcord (1973)
6/10
Their happiness and absurdity go hand in hand.

The present: A town of horny retards. They are happy with their absurdity. Their happiness and absurdity go hand in hand.

Among all the retards, Aurelio and his wife are the voices of rationality. Half of this rationality (the wife) dies at the end; their son (Titta) who is in love disappears after Grandisca (the jewel of the town) marries the prince. An asset goes to the rich? There is no change in sight in the future.

It's a critique of a certain Italian community - perhaps the whole society. I don't need 2hrs and about 8 sequences to tell me about this 'dynamic'.
