I Vitelloni (1957)

I could rhapsodize about Fellini's mastery of the common folk -- going on and on about how the "regular" becomes extraordinary when he trains his powerful lens on it. Or, I could admit that this movie did nothing for me. Hmmm....which to choose...?

The story centers on a group of friends in their 20s who are just kinda going with the flow. They live with their parents, don't bother with jobs (and no one really seems to expect them to), and generally laze around. Go-nowhere lives translated into a go-nowhere film for me. I didn't like the guys and they're pretty much all that's on offer here.
