Dove vai in vacanza?

In my opinion one of the funniest comedies made during the 70s, directed by three equally famous directors, Alberto Sordi, Luciano Salce and Mauro Bolognini, and with an equally choral cast composed of Sordi himself, Ugo Tognazzi ( as well as his son Ricky in a cameo), Stefania Sandrelli, Paolo Villaggio and Annamaria Rizzoli. The film is especially surprising for the cast of young people who are formed in the episode of Tognazzi, also made up of young actors who will shortly be launched on the Italian cinema scene, including Rodolfo Bigotti, Elisabetta Pozzi (later winner of a David di Donatello for the film Cursed the day I met you) and Emilio Lo Curcio, who honestly do not know what happened to him, but who stands out for a small part in the restaurant scene (with a beauty similar to that of Tadzio di Death in Venice). The episode of Sordi has remained a must of all Italian cinema, especially of all the filmography of the great Roman actor, director and comedian.

It's difficult to judge this movie because it's composed by three episodes. Tognazzi's episode, "Sarò tutta per te", is good but not great, it has not aged well. The episode "Si buana" is definitely funny, but a bit of a repetition of slapstick comedic ideas already seen in other films of Paolo Villaggio. But Alberto Sordi's episode "Le vacanze intelligenti", is an absolute masterpiece of comedy which makes fun of the alleged sophistication of modern culture. It's fun and smart, acting is superb.
