In Italian with English subtitles. The title translates to
We All Loved Each Other So Much.
Widescreen. Directed by
Ettore Scola.
Stefania Sandrelli, a bit player in Federico Fellini's
La Dolce Vita, stars in the deliberately Felliniesque comedy
C'eravamo Tanto Amati. Sandrelli plays the longtime object of three friends' affections. The film traces the interrelationships of those friends-
Vittorio Gassman,
Nino Manfredi and Satta Flores-over a period of thirty years, beginning with their involvement in the wartime Resistance. In addition to freely quoting from
La Dolce Vita, director Ettore Scola also calculatedly evokes memories of Fellini's
I Vitteloni. As a bonus, the film offers affectionate homages to several other neorealist filmmakers, including Rossellini and de Sica.
