This film is often hailed as one of, if not the, greatest film ever made. And it's easy do understand why whenever a movie lover gives it a watch.
Made by master-auteur Ettore Scola, this is very likely his best work that he made, a great culmination of his career as a filmmaker much like Fanny and Alexander was for Bergman.
It's an unconventional and cleverly written tale, paying homage to the neorealist roots, without being part of it, and the actors all do an incredible job. It's such a funny and well-written script, with lots of important topics and allegories that makes it high art.
It can't be praised enough, it's truly one of the all time greats.
