9/10
Comedy and seriousness blended into one
10 April 2024
This is the best film I have seen so far in 2024. The cinematography is amazing, the jokes are on point, and the topic makes it interesting.

This film takes place in Rome, a couple of years after World War 2. It is about a woman who is married to an abusive husband and that lives in a deeply misogynistic and unequal world. And how she goes and other women go about that.

The film is filled with comedy, which makes it easier and more attention grabbing, while not losing the seriousness of the topic and being drawn into the world that she lives in. You can feel for the character seeing the hardships that she goes through, which sometimes can make you almost feel sick to your stomach. Which is then followed by a comedic scene about the misogynistic world where she lives in.

The balance between comedy and seriousness is very good. The seriousness is put into the comedy but in a way that you can laugh about it, although it might be a painful and awkward laugh.

The cinematography is of world class, every shot is beautiful. No shot feels wrong or wrongly timed and every shot could be a picture in its own right almost. The black and white makes that only makes that more apparent.

I would highly recommend you to watch this film. You wont regret it, it is one of the best ways to fill 2 hours of your day even when you are busy.
