🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a satirical framework from the collision of class, generation, and repressed desire. It explores bourgeois hypocrisy, using farcical situations to expose the dark instincts simmering beneath propriety.
What lingers after the final frame is a cynical, yet oddly compassionate, portrait of human frailty. The comedy stings as much as it entertains. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Vittorio De Sisti

With a dry wine, among company receptive to dark humor and moral ambiguity.
