love the way character narration is used in this, sometimes with screen freezes. the final five minutes are especially touching, and i love that the film ends with muti's words

Why 1971
secular/political counterpart to ferreri’s l’udienza driven by Sordi’s wide-eyed fumbling as opposed to jannacci’s pervy kitschiness. Love the conceit here that it takes his wife who speaks middling Italian to get him out as Sordi starts digging himself (unknowingly) into bigger and bigger holes. The final 5 minutes are also something really special, serving yet another example of how commedia all’italiana sheds light on one’s inner psychological workings through approaching life through its absurdities. The absurdities themselves are the source of the comedy, where there lies a tragedy within them based on their resemblance to actuality.

A Clockwork Orange 1971
2 stars not because I was offended but because I was bored. Good editing does not make a good movie when the movie takes all the possible substance it could have had and throws it away in favor of empty shock. Interested to read the book and get a sense of what could have been.
