Pitched somewhere between genuine childhood reminiscence and an outlandish, "Arabian Nights"-style collection of tales, Federico Fellini's "Amarcord" captures the great Italian director at the peak of his cinematic powers. If you're pursing your lips disapprovingly and getting ready to ask whether "Amarcord," like most of Fellini's later movies, isn't simultaneously sentimental and sexist, here's my answer: It sure the hell is. But it's all a question of what Fellini does with those ingredients and with that perspective, which is to create a highly complicated work of memory and fantasy, a grand, theatrical blend of comedy and tragedy that addresses both what he loved and what he hated about the provincial Italian character. OK, there is the legendary topless scene that brings Titta up close and personal with the bodacious town tobacconist Maria Antonietta Beluzzi , a Russ Meyer-worthy moment that no doubt helped propel "Amarcord" to international hit status -- and to a Oscar for best foreign film. Just re-released in an eye-popping new 35 mm color restoration, "Amarcord" is a lot more than a sweet-natured erotic fantasia about bucolic existence in a bygone era.

Although Fellini himself was not a subscriber to the Feminist ideology -he preferred to separate himself from any form of ideology- he nevertheless had a deeply entrenched feminine sympathy, he adored the female of the species, regarding them as subtly superior to men. In life Mastrioanni and Fellini were quite different.
