Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
Bill George This story is set in Ivrea, where the "Carnival" is all about rival groups fighting each other with oranges. A former resident who has come to "help out" his friends meets a woman and their mutual attraction draws them into a passionate affair. We begin to wish that their love will last beyond their stay but of course it all depends on what they decide ... Stefania Sandrelli is not the usual Bardot look alike: she is generously proportioned and unafraid to show feelings as well as her body. Her film partner shows his desperation and confusion as he tries to understand what they feel for each other. I don't know if there is an English version of the film, but the dialogue is worth listening to and thinking about: anyone watching it just for some nudity will miss a lot. Altogether a film which deserves a lot more attention than it has received.
Cristi_Ciopron In UNA DONNA … there's a nice scene of the very young Mme. Sandrelli gently touching herself. She was a cute young woman—and the view of her lazily beginning to touch herself …--and the scene has some schmaltzy score ….But then again the Italians are seemingly masturbation freaks, they enjoy filming their first—hand actresses (Mrs. Sandrelli, Mrs. Antonelli) doing the unspeakable act. Anyway, it's always sexier than the poor American starlets energetically rubbing themselves.This flick is worth watching at least for the Mrs. Sandrelli nudity.Nice sexy schmaltzy melodrama
