Original Italian version with German subtitles SYNOPSIS: Alberto (Alberto Sordi), Fausto (Franco Fabrizi), Moraldo (Franco Interlenghi), Leopoldo (Leopoldo Trieste), and Riccardo (Riccardo Fellini) are "vitelloni," lazy young men. They kill time in the small Italian seaside resort of Pesaro, live off their parents, and wait for the big opportunity. They play billiards, talk about women, and get bored... Until Moraldo is the first in the group to finally decide and leave by train one morning.
"Fellini's films are not nostalgic when they deal with origins or the 'homeland'; on the contrary, they are rather mocking, sarcastic, sometimes with a naturalistic precision in describing the cramped living conditions. This is where Fellini's first great film comes in: *I Vitelloni*. A provincial town by the sea, a small group of young men (...), parasitic existences... *I*
Vitelloni reflects the 'immobilism,' the immobility of post-war Italian society. At the same time, it is the immobility of life in a small town that prevails, on the margins of major events that shake the world." (Thomas Koebner)
