What did Waters want to do? Entertain above all, I believe. From what I know, he is the exact opposite of an intellectual (even though he is far from being a fool). However, beyond entertainment, it remains, in my opinion, also beyond the taste for provocation against every form of respectability (which I think is very genuine: that is, Waters and Divine shocked because they were like that, not because they wanted to shock for shock's sake, although they were clearly aware of it), also, as I wrote, a hymn to the most anarchic freedom. With all the contradictions surrounding the concept of freedom and anarchy: after all, I believe it is also a film that, as hilarious and caustic as it is, has very dark aspects. For example, Divine taking justice into his own hands is a disturbing spectacle. It’s a film that, in its entertainment, "smells of death" from beginning to end (and even the chicken doesn’t meet a nice end). Just my mental musings, probably :)

it's up to you, cptgaio, how much you're willing to accept. Because it really holds back nothing. But this remains a TRULY unique film (well, there are the others by Waters), as well as being hilarious.

in what sense "not that big" as many think?

I haven't seen him in ages, but the early Fantozzi films literally had me dying of laughter. I agree with all of you, it's satire that is anything but stupid. After how the series progressed, the quality certainly declined, but here...

The absolute masterpiece of excess. A must-see millions of times. Even today it would leave anyone astonished. A hymn to freedom, the most punk film ever made. Fucking Waters, I want to see it all.

Certo! Inviami il testo che desideri tradurre e provvederò a farlo.

Hi Fest! I'm not really a huge fan of Jarmush, but of his works, this is definitely the one I liked the most.

however, it is still looked at with pleasure.

very nice, but honestly the house with the windows is, in my opinion, on another level.

But you see Poletti, I concede that you might be right about me, but the fact that you think a million and more (I don't know how much the "and more" is) individuals living on the same island have the same character says a lot about your way of seeing things. And anyway, as usual, you haven't answered anything regarding the discussion about cinema and films.
