Interesting satire material turned into a nonsensical, incoherent farce
30 May 2016
Warning: Spoilers
A well-respected bourgeois family man falls in love with a hippy girl, with whom he doesn't get to have his way and for whom he gets in trouble with the law. A botched farcical comedy that claims to be social criticism but fails to deliver what it promises. Luciano Salce, who plays Carlo Valcini, the main character, is good and funny, delivers some good moments, but sometimes seems to be out of place.

The screen writing is very sloppy to the point that the story has glaring plot holes and lacks essential logical linking. The plot itself is rambling and flimsy, and the screenplay contains many a nonsensical or incoherent line and scene. That is a pity, because the underlying idea was quite interesting and could give rise to a biting satire on society. A 33-year-old Lino Banfi, playing an amusing gay inmate in one of the few well-made scenes, is worthy to be mentioned.
