A delightful satire about the decline of norms and values in difficult circumstances. Amidst all the funny moments, the film confronts the viewer with a number of unpleasant matters and traits such as rape, selfishness, heartlessness, and apathy.
It is a nice bonus that Comencini features the crème de la crème of Italian, French, and Spanish cinema of the time in this film, albeit mostly in little more than somewhat stretched cameos. It is funny that a junkyard forms the backdrop of the film.
Confronting, but very entertaining.
