groovy-guy 24 Posted May 12, 2016 Federico Fellini's I Vitelloni and Martin Scorsese's Mean Streets, two early masterpieces from two of the greats, Mean Streets inspired by I Vitelloni, and both about a group of aimless twentythirtysomething loser friends trying to figure out why they're that old and still in a coming of age drama ...  Mean Streets featuring plotless brawling, newcomer actor Bobby Deniro's first (second?) big role, and a soundtrack that covers The Ronettes to The Rolling Stones  I Vitelloni as Fellini's breakthrough picture, featuring the Amarcord kids all grown up and bitter, drunkenness & disappointment, and the blueprints for not only Mean Streets but American Graffitti Share this post Link to post
