She isn’t related to the main character at all. Is this woman related to the young man? The camera lingers on her, but the young Fellini walks right past her. The camera follows him as he leaves, but Fellini finds interest in a woman at the train station. When Roma starts, Peter Gonzales, a Spanish actor playing an 18-year-old Fellini, arrives in Rome by train. The beginnings of a plot are there, but the film often spends chunks of time away from a man playing a young Fellini. It appears to be autobiographical on the surface, but doesn’t really follow Fellini’s life story. Released in 1972, a year before Amarcord, the film borders on documentary, but isn’t really one.
Roma is a movie that could only have been made by Federico Fellini and yet, it seems so different from the master Italian filmmaker’s other works.
