This semiautobiographical work by Federico Fellini was the first film to bring him a measure of world attention.

Top CriticAlthough the plot moves between set pieces, its dramatic structure is centered on the characters, individuals caught between terminal stasis and illegitimate dreams.
This dilemma between the desire not to mature and the infallibility of age is best summated in Nino Rota’s score. It highlights the film’s beautiful final shots and lends the final exit an air of playful hope.
It's as wistful and sad as it is funny and charming, with the first of Nino Rota's great scores to keep it burbling along.
Proof of Fellini's early genius as a storyteller.
Offers us the rare chance to witness a filmmaker becoming a master filmmaker, as well as the birth of an important relationship with composer Nino Rota.
Top CriticWhat stays fresh (and enhanced by the beautifully restored black- and-white print) is how so many of Fellini's gifts and obsessions are already apparent in this early work.
Top CriticIt was this ineffably poignant semiautobiographical reverie that unleashed fully Fellini's shimmering, flowing poetic style.
Top CriticThis most poetic of films is suffused by a depiction of emotional ties that Fellini respects profoundly while revealing how they can entrap an individual as surely as a ball and chain.
Top CriticOne of the screen's great portrayals of the hell-raising and malaise of young men in their 20s.
Top CriticIf you have warm memories of American Graffiti, Diner, Mean Streets or even TV's Seinfeld, you owe it to yourself to see the masterpiece that inspired them all.
Top CriticA must-see for Fellini enthusiasts and a worthwhile investment for everyone else.
Top CriticBesides being the film that most influenced Martin Scorsese's breakthrough Mean Streets, this 1953 release remains the last word on friendship and disillusionment.
