Five young men dream of success as they drift lazily through life in a small Italian village. Fausto, the group's leader, is a womanizer; Riccardo craves fame; Alberto is a hopeless dreamer; Moraldo fantasizes about life in the city; and Leopoldo is an aspiring playwright. As Fausto chases a string of women, to the horror of his pregnant wife, the other four blunder their way from one uneventful experience to the next.

"I Vitelloni" is a humorous but critical portrait of a generation of Italians, as well as a poignant love letter to Fellini's hometown Rimini and provincial Italy in general. The bittersweet sense of melancholy that permeates the film comes from the fact that the five "young" men are way past the age of dreaming, but still keep dodging any kind of responsibility and clinging to the same purposeless lifestyle. In the end, Moraldo is the only one to finally realize that underneath their clown masks, they are nothing but losers in an old town. I wouldn't call it a neorealist film, but Fellini's style here is still quite distant from the baroque extravaganza of the 60's.

Le intuizioni felliniane (come le scene finali e quelle delle feste) stavolta non bastano: la trama è inconsistente e veramente poco travolgente. I personaggi non interessanti come gli altri film del regista; lo stesso Sordi appare sottotono e non alla sua migliore interpretazione.

I will admit that I still struggle to quite understand the awe Fellini seems to generate amongst fans. His films are beautifully shot but usually involve the most shallow of individuals faffing around in a vacuous world of privilege and emptiness. This one is much the same - "Fausto" (Franco Fabrizi More
