      Divorce Italian Style--Old Movie Worth Watching

      Recently, I have been reading old movies that I watched more than ten years ago. I have no experience in my memory this time. I am afraid that I am being too rational, thinking too much, and losing a lot of viewing pleasure. Many works by Golden Harvest and Art City in Hong Kong in the 1980s may have been influenced a lot by this film. The psychological activities of the characters are black-bellied as voice-overs...

      Italian Divorce

      This film is completely different from "Italian Marriage" three years later, one in black and white and the other in color, with different plot directors. Just because not only the titles of the films are similar, but the male protagonists are also the same person, so it is inevitable to talk about them together as a series.

      Two wealthy protagonists, struggling between the walls of marriage and the shackles of women, fake scheming, exhausted their strength, and finally get nothing but...

      [Watching the film with my husband] I just want to... watch a literary film easily

      What I have seen, heard and thought is more and more liquid, frivolous, casual, simple and even without any thought, so I still enjoy watching two novels in one night, "Ten Days of Love". A romantic comedy such as "Manual" can smirk for a long time. As for the CC production that Laozhen said "specializes in literary films", even the most relaxed "Italian Divorce", if it is not for the recent nervous return to the belief of literary and artistic women Support, I really want to turn off the DVD...

      Murder complicity thoughts

      This was the first time I saw Germi's film and I was very impressed. The sophistication of the black and white film presented at the beginning of the film is unforgettable. Against the backdrop of Mediterranean music, the camera sweeps across the endless Sicilian land, and the combination of rocks and meadows has a sense of fluidity. The male protagonist's slightly sentimental and decadent eyes indicate that this is a story with irony.

      The film's narrative perspective is unexpected,...

      Italy in the era of Pavarotti

      In the 1950s and 1960s, Italian society used to be like this. Under the rule of the Catholic Church, the body was imprisoned, morality was more described by dignity, and vitality was expressed in the form of art and profession. The lawyer's presentation was a cappella version of Pavarotti's performance, with the power of the words, the detail and the unbelievably moving voice.

      Haha, there are so many people watching "porn" and "Sweet Life". Recording and rewinding playback time and space. The multi-layered comedy elements are very beautifully woven, and they are laid out all the way to the end with a little smug self-mockery and...

      Italian-style divorce should be called infidelity. Italian version of Lolita. The male protagonist is so fat, rotten, narcissistic and shameless!! He was so mad at the girl's father that he finally married his niece! ! Italian incest! ! The last scene is like a knife in Polanski's hand. a...

      Among Italian directors, all the films that I have seen are liked, and Piato Jamie may be the only one at present. This film is really a very advanced kind of comedy, where humor and satire go hand in hand. Mastroianni's role in such a comedy is quite serious, and the sense of difference and the moral ambiguity conveyed by the film as a whole is already very intriguing. The story is so wonderfully told, and all kinds of small details are really endless, tacky and funny but elegant and clever,...

      Black suspense comedy / Satire on the old Italian divorce laws, satire on selfish extramarital lovers / Xiaosan has both slut and sweet temperament / The film in the film is the banned film "Sweet Life" performed by Mastroianni himself "Life starts at the age of 40, and may end at the age of forty by being a...

    Movie plot

    Although Ferdinando Gefalo is married, he fell in love with his 16-year-old cousin. Ferdinando's wretched wife not only became obese and had a strong sexual desire, but also laughed like a scream. As a result, Ferdinando often enters a state of hallucinations. He stood at the window and imagined that his wife was assassinated in the soap making tank, and when he saw the newspaper news about the spacecraft, he imagined that his wife was...

    Evaluation action

    The first half of "Divorzio all'italiana" is like an absurd drama, and the poetic scenes of small town life are often interrupted by the protagonist's terrible fantasy. But "Divorzio all'italiana" is not a comic book farce, on the contrary this movie is very calm. It not only has realism, but also highlights the absurdity of society. In the second half of the plot, the Italian law was ruthlessly mocked and strongly criticized: the...
