The denunciation of the healthcare system’s anomalies is not very deep, and the subject’s polemical strength ends up being diluted in a mechanism made of amusing scenes. Alberto Sordi... embodies the anti-hero typical of this kind of comedy: simultaneously likable and deplorable, lovable and repugnant.

The opening - the murder of Johnny North in a home for the blind, executed by the two killers with the methodical calmness of those doing their job - is a textbook page, phenomenal for its rhythm, cadence, almost expressionist use of color and framing. Behind Siegel's dry style lies the chilling portrait of a world devoid of morality and especially emotion, where everyone betrays everyone in the name of their own gain.

Throughout the film, we never witness actual supernatural events but only the terrified reactions of the characters. Wise manages to scare by making careful use of framing, creating still terrifying moments simply by capturing a moving shadow, the face of a statue, an inscription on the wall.

"Seduced and Abandoned stands out for a more scathing and sarcastic tone, outlining a hellish picture of a sun-drenched and somber Sicily." "Few directors in Italy could maintain such tension with baroque, overabundant, and deliberately unpleasant filmmaking while delivering a clear message."

Hawks takes the chain of cause and effect to unattainable levels of absurdity (and comedy): it touches upon delirium, but it’s a delirium organized with mathematical, infallible precision. Hepburn has something unforgettable in her mix of beauty, naivety, non-conformism, and 'feline' instinctiveness, making her one of the most fascinating female characters in classic American cinema.

The real protagonist of the film is the voyeuristic viewer: the horror that appears on screen is nothing but a spectacle created specifically for him. Haneke’s approach to violence is profoundly and ambiguously moral: deaths are always filmed offscreen, restoring all the horror to viewers anesthetized by years of television and cinematic 'pornography.'
