I picked his up at a Wal-mart for a buck because I knew of the 1977 release, _Allegro Non Troppo_, from Bruno Bozetto. But there are about ten years between these films, and the growth between them shows.

There's a certain crudeness to the animation, the humor and the presentation. The art of most of Bozetto's stuff seems a mix of 1960s underground comics and the overground psychedelia of Peter Max and 1960s-70s blacklight posters.

The pacing is bad, some jokes labored, telegraphed, obvious or drawn out. However, there's a lot of good parody and interesting concepts in this. It's worth the dollar I paid for it, and if you can pick it up for that amount, do so. It's a good rainy day watch.
