 I Vitelloni
comment
I Vitelloni is a 1953 film directed by Federico Fellini.It involves five slackers living in a small town on the Adriatic coast of Italy, and their supposedly carefree lives. One of them, Fausto, blows this when he gets his girlfriend pregnant and is forced to marry her. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t try to seduce other women, though.Fausto's friends try to be supportive while keeping their lifestyles: Alberto is supported by his mother and sister, Leopoldo writes a play, Riccardo tries to keep his singing act, and Fausto’s brother-in-law Moraldo tries to get away from it all.Breakthrough hit for Federico Fellini and his Associated Composer, Nino Rota. It was one of Stanley Kubrick's and Martin Scorsese's favorite movies.

Out of Focus: There are five Vitelloni, but Alberto and Riccardo largely disappear in the second half of the film, as the story centers on Fausto and Moraldo, plus Leopoldo to a lesser extent.

Anything That Moves: Fausto seems to have a compulsion. He's fired from his job after crudely hitting on his boss's wife, who looks to be 20 years older than he is.

Untranslated Title
 I Vitelloni / int_68a77024
comment
Untranslated Title: I Vitelloni ("The slabs of veal") was an insulting term for Slackers in the dialect of Fellini's home region of Romagna. The original American release retitled it The Young and the Passionate, but it's gone by the original title since then. Interestingly, this trope also applied for I Vitelloni in most regions of Italy, where they'd never heard that bit of slang before.

The One Who Made It Out
 I Vitelloni / int_af26b36a
comment
The One Who Made It Out: All of the five Vitelloni want to get out of town and make it big in the wider world and they keep making plans to escape but most of them stumble and fail to act on their plans. Moraldo is the only one who manages it, and the finale is a poignant montage of him in the train leaving the town intercut with small vignettes showing his friends adjusting to their small time lives, surrendering their dreams and hopes forever.

comment
O.O.C. Is Serious Business: When Sandra runs away from him, the normally happy-go-lucky Fausto becomes dazed and depressed. In this state he runs into the woman he was hitting on at the movie theater earlier, who now takes an interest in him, but the up-till-now philanderer turns her down and seems for the first time to only pine for his wife.
