Blinded by an explosion, Fausto Consolo (Vittorio Gassman) is nevertheless a pompous, prideful and lecherous aristocrat who needs Ciccio to keep him out of trouble.

      Ruth Batchelor Los Angeles Free Press Scent has the sweet smell of success, and Gassman comes out smelling like a rose. And, aside from those unforgivable cliches, it's a worthwhile movie. Aug 23, 2019 Full Review Sean Axmaker Seanax.com ... ends with the harsh, introspective whimper of reality, not the bang of Hollywood cliché.

      Audience Member Profumo di Donna might seem like a cheesy Italian romance and it does have its overly melodramatic moments, but due to the subtle acting of Gassman and the great chemistry between Gassman and Momo the movie has a well-balanced narration. It cannot simply be reduced to sex jokes and lewdness, although Fausto's jokes sometimes are rather crude. The writing is spot on and the message of a broken old army captain is fantastically presented against the backdrop of some of Italy's most beautiful cities. Overall 7/10 Full Review: https://movie-discourse.blogspot.de/2018/01/profumo-di-donna-ita-1974.html Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Once you've seen this, the american remake will unveil itself as what it is. An insipid edulcorated mainstream Hollywood version of a really beautiful and intense movie. Where is Vittorio Gassman's Academy Award? Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member vittorio gassman superbo, l'italia degli anni 70, bellissimo Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Gassman, em uma das mais veneradas atuacoes da historia do cinema, encarna brincando com seus sentimentos, demonstrando uma satisfacao propria esbanjando graca. A trilha despeja claridade em suas sutilezas, assim como a fotografia que, semelhante as outras peliculas da epoca e da regiao apresenta grande sensibilidade a luz e granulacoes. Tais efeitos aplicados as magnificas locacoes italianas causam um efeito que remete a um sonho, um sonho bastante vivo. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member La obra maestra que hizo surgir la famosa película de Perfume de Mujer de Al Pacino. Sà (C) que la actuación de Al Pacino es incomparable y que justamente comparar es algo egoista e inadecuado, pero que PAPELAZO se lanza Vittorio Gassman, que manera de crear un personaje con tanta fuerza. La película es una verdadera obra de arte, hermosa escenografía y excelentes actuaciones, una historia inaudita y muy diferente a su remake hollywoodense (Odiosas comparaciones) Definitivamente viendo esta película siento que descubrí una obra de arte, la recomiendo totalmente. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member La carga metafórica de esta hermosa pieza de la comedia italiana, forjada por un autor como Dino Risi, la hace inconmesurablemente superior al lado de su par hollywoodense estrenada en 1992 y protagonizada por Al Pacino. Ahí donde la falta de visión huele a caridad con el impedido, aquí no es más que una lección de madurez y tolerancia que el gran Vittorio Gassman plasma con mucha gracia y sutileza, lo que le valió el reconocimiento al Mejor Actor en Cannes 75´. Ideal para: Curiosos del cine italiano. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
