    "For a man from Rimini, his dreams are actually just dreams. But he will eventually leave and castrate his dreams into the "sweet life". Before leaving, let these prostitutes, in Shanxi, call them little Wu, in Taiwan they call people from Fengkui, in Japan they call Xinzhi, in New York they call Johnny boy, let their own senses fully enjoy everything that blows in front of them, and forget that it is absurd and powerless to go on like this....

    In a small seaside town on the edge of loneliness, they reveled in all the dilapidation, and they were no longer teenagers in a blink of an eye. Alberto had to stay to take care of his mother; Leopoldo complained that no one understood his art but did not have the courage to go out; Faust's prodigal son turned back, got married, and could never go out again. They were all discussing leaving, but only Morad, who loved to watch lightning, left without looking back towards the stars - just like...

    Probably the cutest Fellini, I like his light humor in the early days, the body expressions of the characters still have the feeling of a silent film, the five-in-one autobiography is also a bit magical, and even more amazing is the ending, which is the most beautiful in my heart. One of the endings. This one already has all the themes of Fellini's later works: boredom - there is always something more; the picture can be summed up as everyone, everyone, everyone, everyone, everyone; silly and...

I Vitelloni quotes

  • Alberto: [drunkenly] Moraldo, know what? We gotta get married.

    Moraldo Rubini: Yes.

    Alberto: We gotta get married. You see Fausto? He settled down. He's happy. He has a house. We just gotta get ourselves wives.

  • Leopoldo Vannucci: This town is blind to art. It's so hard, being perpetually misunderstood. My friends don't even understand me. They only care about material things. They live their sordid lives, thinking of women and money. I feel so alone. And the winter is awful. It's endless in this town. I'm so full of sadness and anguish. At midnight the town goes dark. How can an artist feed his demons? How can he live in this silence?
