Plots(1)
Autobiographical film detailing the lives of a group of young bloods (the ‘young calves’ of the title) drifting aimlessly and dreaming of escape from their life in provincial limbo in their small seacoast town. The film charts their restlessness and their respective rites of passage. (Cult Films)
Reviews (1)
For me, Fellini's best film so far. Although the director achieved worldwide fame with his later works, I'm probably more of a fan of his early efforts. The Young and the Passionate is a great mosaic of small-town characters who would love to be headed for stardom, but instead stay in the same hole over and over again. Non-judgmental, heartfelt and emotionally turbulent in the best sense of the word.
