One of the ten best italian movies ever made!, 30 January 2000
10/10
Author: giovanni manara (mpvtfm) from Catania, Italy

I've seen this movie hundreds & hundreds of time, and I'm not tired yet to watch it, and this just because this movie represents how we italians were in the sixties and how we still are. It is probably one of the ten best italian movies ever made. If you are able to understand Italian, watch it in its original version.
