To be honest, it has been a while since I have seen this movie and maybe I should re-watch it at some point. Anyway, I remember it quite well when it was released. Indeed, it was a critical success when it was released at the Cannes Film Festival and I was really eager to check it out. In fact, somehow, the whole thing did remind me of Woody Allen in the sense that it was very talkative but also very smart, at least, thatโs my opinion. Basically, there was no plot whatsoever and, instead, the characters just kept talking, talking and talking again and it either bore you to death or it fascinates you. Well, I thought it was rather fascinating. Eventually, 8 years later, Moretti would come back to the Cannes Film Festival and would win this time the prestigious Golden Palm with โLa stanza del figlioโ which was really good as well but I still preferred this movie though. Anyway, surprisingly,I have noticed that, after all these years, I havenโt seen many movies directed by this director which is too bad. Anyway, to conclude, I thought it was pretty good and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in Italian movies.ย
