An extraordinary film - intense, highly visual, humorous - perhaps the most stunning anti-war film ever made. Yet more than just an anti-war film, this story explores the human psyche in discovering the depths of judgmental condemnation springing forth in shocking hypocrisy; and what - and how - we as human beings do to surive as civilians in war. This is a story of civilians enduring the war, and what people do to survive - to the depths. In the end, there is no remaining condemnation for anything anyone has done to survive, as the main character rises above denial and acknowledges his own compromises, sell-outs and betrayals all to stay alive the next minute, and then another minute. An in-depth human study, remarkably scripted and filmed, acting beyond superb - utterly believable performances - it is an experience not of seeing a film, but of vicariously living these lives as real, in the moment, fully inhabited and gripping. I bought this to see it finally, after 30 years, with my now adult sons, and afterwards to talk about what it means about who we are.Read full review
It's one of the most extraordinary movie pictures ever made. Lina Wertmuller was an assistant of Fellini, the great italian director. She gives her point of vew about the instinct of survive in the human beings with a lot of sense of humeur. The picture was nominated to the oscars. The interpretation of Giancarlo Giannini is superb. Infortunetly i could not find the movie DVD in Europe, so i search in USA and found it. I bougth it and i am glad to have it in my Filmoteca. Great movie about live and human kind.
Loved this item. Saw the film many years ago and now nice to have a pristine copy of the film. The digital restoration looks good. Nice to see that someone is recognizing these films as noteworthy and is putting them on DVD. This director is one of the overlooked directors of the '70s. Her work stands out and should be seen by newer generations. This one is a "keeper" in my DVD collection. Tom Schenk.
At times a comedy, a thriller, a tragedy, an adventure. One of my top 10 all time movies, by a master director.
