      Audience Member An interesting movie about a certain historical period so far, so near. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member 26/30. Inexorably clichéd in too-much-covered ground; not quite an artistic achievement on the level of other films set in the same period; but, exploring the issue from the perspective of a child and always pressingly realist, still left a good impression. I don't understand much of the hostile critical and audience response on this page. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Beyond the political and religious views there is a junction between colleagues that only could be possible in this kind of "black comedy". During facism those characters would not be able for this ending in real life. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member The rivalry between two textile retailers is broken up by the Fascist intoduction of the Racial laws. Talented cast and a great portrait, though the whole film does remain distant and perhaps even gets lost in its own preciousness.
