Lina Wertmuller's flamboyant satire is an
acquired taste, and this unpleasant sociopolitical comedy
may be the acid test for potential devotees.
Luigi Diberti stars in a scathing look at a group of rural
youths who share a Milan apartment-commune in order to combat
the economic oppression of urban life.
Giuseppe Rotunno's evocative camerawork brings a consistency
of tone to even Wertmuller's most extreme indulgences, such
as a slaughterhouse ballet, but many viewers will be left
scratching their heads wondering what it all means.
