Movie No. 46 (2015): I VITELLONI
I Vitelloni (1953)
Director: Federico Fellini
Cast: Franco Fabrizi, Alberto Sordi, Franco Interlenghi
In Italian, with English subtitles
Tho movie is centered on a group of five male friends "who refuse to grow up." They have dreams of leaving the town but these dreams ironically put them into stasis. This is a kind of premise that most of the movie-going public now are indifferent about. But real and great cinema use only simple premises which great writes and directors use as spring board of truly unforgettable cinema. Imagination is the key.

The movie, despite its being simple, effortlessly sucked my interest and attention into its narrative. It's easy to get to know the characters. The tale is bittersweet. The black and white photography simply enhanced the mise-en-scene whose effect was to render each frame a visual poetry.
