Childhood resurrected by memory

It's easy to like Fellini, especially his creative attitude beyond realism.
The film starts with a ceremony to bid farewell to winter, followed by the appearance of various characters. There is no coherence in the plot, because originally, this is a serialized thing from memory.
What I remember most is Uncle Crazy, standing above the tall tree, repeating simply: I need a woman.
There are also the irritable father and the low-key mother and the deep love between them, those depths composed of time, maybe we will never get it in the future world.
All the things that represent our hometown are disappearing, and we are rushing forward under the coercion of time, but the road ahead is uncertain.

    I remember how things happened back then, the city was full of wind and flutter, breasts and buttocks, and I went up to the tree to be a woman~

    This is the charm of Italian cinema, madness and warmth, absurdity and realism, reality and surrealism. Favorite Fellini, the best movie on the big screen this year.
