Having been lured to see I Vitelloni by virtue of Alberto Sordi's magnificent performance in
Mafioso despite not being enchanted by any of Federico Fellini's pictures, I'm laid a dud.
The story, my goodness...I Vitelloni should've been a ten-minute short film. It's all over the place with
different parallelisms going on at once. Just pick one and stick with it. Otherwise, I'm dulled by the goings-on per
stupid Italian wastrel. Really, I don't give a goddamn about any of them.
All in all, if you love Fellini's pretentiousness and vacuousness, I Vitelloni is the film for you.
