Amarcord - Classic Harem Scene

Federico Fellini's Amarcord is a carnivalesque portrait of provicial Italy during the Fascist period. Fellini satirises his youth and turns daily life into a circus of rituals, sensations, and emotions. Adolescent desires, male fantasies and political repartee are set to Nina Rota's music in this beautiful film.


This classic scene retells the hilarious story of Biscein's sexual fling with a harem of Arab concubines.
