Such a great premise and some awesome acting but too long and never made the leap it promises.
Boring, weird vanity project. Neither performance moves the bar for these actors.
I love Dino Risi. Il Sorpasso may be my favorite film. This movie was interesting from a historical perspective—a total indictment of post war Italy and capitalism—but it is not a great film. Sordi can’t decide if he is in a tragedy or comedy and so tries to play it both ways to ill effect. Still, with our present day yearning for rich people porn this fits right in Italian style. There’s a Gina Lollobrigida retrospective at MOMA. We should go!
