A very beautiful film and commendable is the idea of reviewing it. I don’t know if this is the episode where Tognazzi teaches lessons in cynicism to his son only to be killed by him... prophetic in certain aspects, and copied from a certain film that I won’t name (because it's a mystery). I agree with Poletti and add that this is better than what is 5 PPP: if PPP had understood who the new monsters were, he wouldn’t have brought Pelosi to Ostia... and today we would see him on "Senso della vita" with Bonolis!

And what if this whole story was just my invention, listening to YOU? And if the time of apples were to go backwards like a shrimp? Who knows! Valerione, it would mean that the time of pears has arrived.

Mmmmm... me and Lavalin transgender?!? It looks like the plot of "Dressed to Kill" by De Palma!

Excellent, a review that is a lesson, a form of culture that should be taught in schools (you who can, do it). From what I understand, it should be listened to while reading, in parallel, the splendid Piovene from "Viaggio in Italia"... rediscovering a country that no longer exists. Sometimes we might wonder if it's a good thing or a bad thing; the answer isn't entirely obvious, especially when the aesthetic exaltation of certain works (like those of Lomax) shifts to a characterization of the society that produced them, not entirely better than our own.

Lav, it's not that the questions are bothersome, it's the answers that are complex and—anyway—variable from case to case. I’ll respond broadly like Crepet, allowing you the role of the Palombelli of the moment: the mechanism of pride, where you have to leave if betrayed, shouldn't be overlooked, but I believe it applies to a woman in the face of potential betrayal, especially when it is recognized that betrayal is the effect and not the cause of an (already occurred) end of a story; the mechanism of fear, where it's troublesome if a story ends, shouldn't be underestimated either, especially considering a certain mammonism that leads to seeing the woman as a substitute for the mother (and a certain terror among women over thirty of being left alone), etc. etc. These mechanisms combine. For example, De Sica wouldn’t tolerate betrayal in his films (pride), but he betrays without a problem as long as his wife doesn't leave him (fear). Thus, many couples last based on the balance between fear and pride. As long as the fear of loneliness (not to be underestimated in the current social context) prevails over self-assertion (pride), the couple endures. Very sad! Yours, Il_Paolo (Crepet).

Judge: I've always dreamed of getting a line like that... in real life I haven't yet found someone who has the courage to say it to my face (they obviously say it behind my back). Do you remember in "Notte prima degli esami," when Vaporidis calls himself Niki Lauda, but right after accidentally wrecks the Porsche?!? Well, the line "A Niki Lauda... ma vvafanculo" pumps me up!

Great and beautiful review. 4.9999% Periodical. Any recommendations for Derringer in the studio? ST, Il_Paolo

Nice problem Lavalin... in my opinion, the point is that - in the face of betrayal or even, simply, the woman's lack of interest in continuing the relationship - a sort of wounded pride kicks in for the man: he still wants the woman not just for "possessiveness" but also to avoid being discredited as a losing male compared to other males (the woman's new man, for example) or the entire social group. The betrayed or abandoned man especially fears being exposed in his weakness, losing the primacy (or the anxiety to excel) that often justifies and/or drives his actions in the social context. This perhaps explains, in the news, various cases of murders and/or suicides and the consequences that follow. And, on a much more prosaic level: a) the man's search for a substitute for the woman who left him; b) the fact that a man usually leaves once he has already found a replacement. At least, that's my [sad to reread] opinion after a lavish lunch break.

The issue of co-interest between me and Lavalin could be discussed for hours (especially since I started dressing in women's clothing...), but I would be grateful to Judge Woodcock to formulate his accusations - if not with the grounding of reality - with the good taste and the southern Anglo-Saxon style that Our possesses. Thanks. @Gustavo: I appreciate the measure of your contributions, but as I mentioned in a previous comment: if you were a Gustante I would gladly invite you, but being you an imperfect - to put it in Roman terms - I'm just sending you on your way.

Mmmmm... what if it had become like one of the "Pali e Dispari"?!? Better to throw a (un)merciful veil over it. ST Il_Paolo
