I vitelloni

media release: Italy | 1953 | DCP | 108 min. | Italian with English subtitles

Director: Federico Fellini

Cast: Alberto Sordi, Franco Fabrizi, Leopoldo Trieste

With humor and honesty, Fellini drew upon his adolescence to masterfully tell the story of five aimless young men who slowly come to realize that their futures in their small-town are not looking so bright. From American Graffiti to Diner to Mean Streets, Fellini influenced personal filmmaking for many years to come with his splintered storyline, melancholic moods, and "wandering" camera. A new 4K DCP will be screened.
