Manton 50th Anniversary Film Series: Films Of 1973—Amarcord

Thursday, March 2, 6 Pm
Auditorium

In celebration of the 1973 opening year of its Manton Research Center building, the Clark presents five film screenings as part of its Manton 50th Anniversary Film Series: Films of 1973.

This Thursday, the Clark screens Amarcord, Federico Fellini's blockbuster. Recreating a vanished world haloed with the glow of memory, Fellini focuses on recreating his hometown of Rimini and depicting its daily life as a circus of social rituals, adolescent desires, male fantasies, and political deception. New York Times film critic Vincent Canby called Amarcord "marvelous"—"extravagantly funny" and "a film of exhilarating beauty."
