Dejan It is really nice to watch something different rather than similar scenarios that are produced every other day. Story although bit grim represents lives of people we do not often see represented on screen. Yet this movie aint for everyone. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Very amusing in an offensive sort of way. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member This is an interesting film, part comedy, part social depicton of a family living in a slum in roma during the 70's! It's quite dry & bleak but somehow it's catchy and entertaining! It's a film from an other era that's for sure, when families where big & life was not turning around social recognition or facebook to say the least! It was a time of toughness & economic harship for italy and maybe for Europe in General. This film has a radical view point & is in complete osmosis with it's subject! It's a gritty & dirty film, filled with incredible chracters & too many truth about what the future holds for these unfortunate kids growing in such a bad environement! Wait for the last shot, when the image freezes, you will understand all the bitterness this film holds under the appearance of a dark comedy! Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Frankly, this outcast and good taste disturbing humor made me laugh - it surely has its hilarious moments. After few long uncut camera takes I've put big hopes in the art side of the movie but the closer to end the worse it gets. Some kind of Italian version of "Pink Flamingos" or Dutch flick "Flodder" from the 80's. Nevertheless worth to see. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Imagine Fellini's neorealistic <i>Miracolo a Milano</i> (1951) with its humor twisted into a John Waters / Marco Ferreri celebration of political incorrectness. Almost literally, there is cannibalism within this unconventional family, and Nino Manfredi acknowledges this as the "head" of them all. Scola never attempted something similar in his career as far as I'm concerned (he'd later proceed with a non-serious, self-spoofing failed romantic movie called <i>Passion d'Amore</i> [1981] with an unintentional(?) reference to Nosferatu), yet his remarkable direction propels a unique twist in any genre this rare hybrid possesses. 97/100 Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Meio cinema artístico pra mim, mas não à (C) de todo mal.
