E noi come stronzi rimanemmo a guardare

While the film presents itself with an interesting premise, related to the dehumanization and exploitation of labor from modern technology, it ends up being executed as a bunch of sketches, tied together by force, without a continuous plot line that makes sense. The hook for the setup of the starting conflict of the story is explained after-the-fact, in a short flashback, which means that from the start the viewer is unsure as to what is the actual central plot of the film, or not.

There are many funny bits, which you can enjoy if you are not caught up in being frustrated by the parts in the movie that make no sense.

Initially it seemed to me a typical boring film of Italian comedy, but then I was fascinated by the themes it spoke (along with a bit of irony), managing to imagine an increasingly difficult future, in which the romantic genre also falls. Great also the participation of the director in the cast, good actor like all the others in the film. Wonderful stereotypical futuristic setting, mixed with a modern Rome.

I give 8 only because you can not put the "%", but the reason why I gave this rating is because of some scenes that did not excite me, because in terms of content it would have deserved much more.

Thanks for reading, I hope my review was good.

This was an enjoyable lighthearted rendition of a middle-aged man discovering the precariousness of life once he loses his office job and girlfriend. Out of some desperation he enters the gig economy and barely scrapes by, if that. Any polemics were rendered with a light touch, but they will ring true to those who have experienced similar situations. His enemies are impersonal, and faceless: the mad scramble to ride his delivery bike to make a few euros, the lack of sleep enforced by his employer to encourage him to be more productive, the loneliness of barely making a living. The opening scene is a bacchanalian party of dancing wealthy people mocking Hitler by camp impersonation, and it's both funny and shocking. It reminds me of Mel Brooks' attitude. If you can make fun of scary icons, scary people who evoke these icons become less credible.

I started watching it as a a generic comedy but this odd film captured my interest very soon.

The story of a manager falling from higher standing positioning to underdog has been told a thousand times but, thanks to a straightforward plot and the intense good acting, the plot evolves recalling echoes of dystopian '70's movies, thus showing it's true face: a clear denunciation of new economy dehumanizing mechanisms focusing on customer satisfaction in the most total contempt of worker's dignity and rights.

It's an updated "Modern Times" told in light and, apparently, simple tones, hitting hard the fat belly of our society.

I watched this film with pleasure.

It is not a real masterpiece, but looking at it I realized how much everything that happens can be more than realistic and this makes us think.

I honestly recommend you to watch it :)
