The film will be screened at Iic in the restored 4 K version, preceded by a brief introduction by Yomota Inuhiko. “Amarcord”, starring Magali Noël, Ciccio Ingrassia, Bruno Zanin and Pupella Maggio, is a semi-autobiographical film, as the title of the film suggests, “a m’arcord” the Romagnolo phrase that signifies “I remember”. Set in 1933 in a Rimini set up as Cinecittà, the film talks about an adolescent boy name Titta growing up among eccentric characters who inhabited the town – their habits, their vices, fascism and anti-fascism.
