Vitellonismo

About This Movie

So, Vitellonismo is this fascinating documentary that peeks behind the curtain of Fellini's I Vitelloni. It’s not your typical making-of feature, though. You get a real sense of the atmosphere in post-war Italy, how it influenced not just the film but the whole vibe of that era. The pacing is quite laid-back, almost reflective, which feels fitting considering the themes of youth and stagnation that Fellini often explored. There are interviews and some behind-the-scenes footage that give you a more intimate view of the creative process. It’s interesting to see how practical effects and performances shaped the final piece. This doc really highlights the artistry involved, the nuances that sometimes get overlooked. If you appreciate the craft, it’s a worthwhile watch.
