ROMA (1972)
Cast: Peter Gonzales Falcon, Fiona Florence, Pia De Doses, Marne Maitland
Plot: The movie is a semi-autobiographical comedy-drama film depicting Federico Fellini’s move from his native Rimini to Rome as a youth. It is a homage to the city, shown in a series of loosely connected episodes set during both Rome’s past and present. The plot is minimal, and the only “character” to develop significantly is Rome herself. Peter Gonzales plays the young Fellini, and the film features mainly newcomers in the cast.
The movie won two Silver Ribbons in 1973 for Best Production Design and Best Costume Design.
