Pure Poem

Watched this movie just now.

This movie is pure poetry. I am not sure what is essence behind this movie was, but in the end it is reading a beautiful poem.

Is it the acting, or is it the situation, or is it the screenplay or is it simply the background score or is it because of Laura Antonelli.

It will take more than 2 eyes to watch Laura Antonelli. You can just simply watch her all movie without being tired.

I have met several coarse and vulgar scenes, but that does not make the movie a lesser work and it made to never feel it is gross. On the contradictory it is pure poetic experience.

Luigi De Angelis( Marcello Mastroianni) is a vineyard owner and a wine seller. This is just a front façade for him but behind he is Anarchist and Antagonist for the ruling political situations.

He goes to sell wine but it is just a pretext but his passion is only for socialist world where everything has to liberal. Sex, women, spirituality and so on. He just privately shows his liberalness for freedom in the view that system is oppressive.

He goes to most of the brothels but writes subjects and publishes under different name.

He goes to Hunting but writes always.

He goes to hotels selling wine but in turn support families of the vendor whom supported liberal ideas and died due to the same.

Antonia De Angelis(Laura Antonelli) on the other hand is naïve, spiritually strict and obedient whom never crosses the social rules.

She never understands her husband and in turn never had intimacy with him.

In return Luigi De Angelis never understood her ability to become like him.(A thoughtful person)

On the suspicion of the Murder, Luigi De Angelis makes out a hide in front of his own house and Antonia De Angelis is left on her own to take up her husband profession.

What follows is the rest of the story.

How Antonia De Angelis understood her husband's ideology and his integrity but still accept his adultery.

And how Luigi De Angelis understood Antonia De Angelis potential to become a mature personality.

In front they fight each other as if they don't like but offline they always care about each other.

Gastone Moschin is makes a gentle performance for supporter of Luigi De Angelis and was remarkable role.

Pure Poem.
