Gli infedeli

I haven't seen the French originals, so will just cover this one with no comparisons to source material.

The upside is that, the stories differ enough from each other to keep us interested. The downside: Said interest remaining kind of unrewarded.

The opening act was okay and what followed it had the mosty dynamic and convincing acting. I liked how smoothly of the story of the "glory hole guy" unfolded. The hallucination plot was refreshing despite the cover-up coming with flaws.

The photography has character, and the rhytm is just fine.

Overall, not a bad movie. But comes short of being "cinema" is structured more like a Twilight Zone anthology with "sexual betrayal" replacing "supernatural mystery".

After the plane scene at the beginning of the film, a sort of gags happen, which seem to be disconnected. Some funny situations, but that is it. Poor ending.

I don't understand the bad reviews here. You need to have the patience to watch a movie till the end. And this one is entertaining enough from the first episode. I really enjoyed the sense of humour, maybe other people found it dull but it's not honestly. The last two episode were so funny and the finale is great too! Hoping to see more of such vignettes on Netflix.

Nothing new in the lazy script: the different man/woman perspective on erotic desire, a poor unimaginative dialogue, many scenes borrowed from previous 1960's Italian comedies (Signore e Signori, Sedotta e Abbandonata come to mind). However, it is mildly entertaining and worth your time, if you like the genre. Probably the most original episode is the Fantozzi's like behavior of a desperate herbal remedies rep that is dying to get laid at a corporate meeting dinner, and progressively downgrades his aim for a bed companion in the course of the evening. The acting is a bit limited and as a consequence characters are flat and uninspiring.

Everything looks dull, and old, like a 60's movie...Dialogue is so stupid...I kept looking for 20 minutes, hoping for an improvement...just a waste of time.
