I Vitelloni
A daring story of uninhibited youth!
Directed by Federico Fellini
Produced by Peg-Films, Cité Films
A wry, observational portrait of aimless youth in postwar Italy, balancing affection for its characters with clear-eyed critique of their moral drift and unfulfilled ambitions.
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.
