FILM FORUM CORONADO: "I Vitelloni"

Coronado Public Library, in partnership with the Coronado Island Film Festival, presents FILM FORUM CORONADO, taking place the first and third Wednesday of each month at 6:00 p.m. in the library's Winn Room. Film expert Ralph DeLauro provides a brief introduction to each film and leads a discussion afterwards, often including pointers about how lighting or camera angles contribute to a scene’s mood or propel the story.

May 3: I Vitelloni (The Young and the Passionate, Italian with English subtitles) (1953, 104 min)

Italian maestro Federico Fellini’s first international success is a shimmering comic reverie  mixing affection and acid satire. Five young wastrels adrift in the wasteland of their provincial town spend their listless days dreaming, scheming and womanizing. Starring Alberto Sordi and Franco Fabrizi.
