The FOOLEST / FUNNIEST italian comedy I've ever seen.

I couldn't believe my eyes: this is the ultimate italian comedy, definitely. Shot in 1982, at the end of the genre's golden era, this movie exasperates all the key features of this kind of movies. It mixes joyous sex (the main character is played by Michela Miti, known as "Pierino's Teacher", who is in wonderful shape and doesn't hide anything),trite humour (plenty of), characteristic actors of the 70's (Gianfranco D'Angelo, Gianni Magni, Franco Bracardi, Oreste Lionello), low-budget direction (go see the Lord of the Rings, if you want), craziness and nonsense (the scenario is straight middle age, but they are talking about diesel motors and watching television). In one word: a cult.

Italian cinema has deeply influenced world cinema through its socially conscious realism and modernist experimentation, but it also flourished in popular genres like peplum (sword & sandal), giallo thrillers, and broad comedies. Its narratives often weave together politics, contemporary social change, class consciousness, and family dynamics, balancing artistic ambition with entertainment that resonated widely.

The satire subgenre uses humor, irony, exaggeration, and parody to critique and comment on various aspects of society, culture, politics, institutions, and human behavior. Satires aim to provoke thought, highlight absurdities, and expose hypocrisy by presenting familiar situations in a distorted or exaggerated manner. They entertain while also providing social commentary and encouraging viewers to reflect on the subjects being criticized.
