The film Roma was made by Federico Fellini in 1972.
The strip is a portrait of the city of Rome from Fellini's point of view. It contains autobiographical material, such as Fellini's arrival in Rome during the Mussolini era, and scenes from everyday life in Rome.
content
It begins with the young Fellini from Rimini , who learned something about Rome at school, from friends and from conversations with adults. In 1939, when the Second World War had just begun, he reached the Italian capital as a young man to study. Then a loose sequence of partly incoherent collage-like sequences begins, funny and dramatic, which often alternate between past and present. The film also contains extremely bizarre scenes, such as a church fashion show and roller-skating priests who want to get to paradise faster . In addition to many street scenes, there is a shot in which the busy main street Grande Raccordo Anulare is shown in stormy weather. The picture also shows the camera crane and a rain protection tarpaulin fluttering in the wind for the headlights and equipment of the recording team, a well-known stylistic element of Fellini. Some scenes show the dirty, decadent and medieval-looking Rome. Celebrities appear briefly in cameos , such as Fellini himself, Gore Vidal , who was then living in Rome, and Anna Magnani , who had previously worked with Fellini and died of cancer shortly after appearing in his film Roma . The film ends with a long shot of a group of motorcycles driving through nighttime Rome.
criticism
"The city portrait, staged with an impressive formal effort, fascinates with its mixture of memory and the present, reality and fantasy."
“Federico Fellini's“ Roma ”does not offer the viewer a plot in the conventional sense, rather the film is a very personal portrait of the city of Rome, which is composed of various aspects. Fellini tells his own story about how he left his hometown Rimini at the age of 20 and traveled to the Italian capital. There he exposes the viewer to an opulent abundance of impressions and experiences in which dream and reality levels often mix. "
