A good cast (Clarissa Burt and Ricky Tognazzi are perfectly guessed) for a refined movie, where is the psychanalysis to be crazy (for his wife).

Bravo Francesco!

A modest Italian comedy, which shows the life of a man, Caruso Paskoski (Francesco Nuti), who is a psychologist, and has several problems with his wife. The latter asked for the divorce and justified it because Caruso was sexually very active, i.e. making sex every day for seven or eight times. They divorced, and suddenly his ex- wife started looking for him to have sex anywhere (in toilets of cinemas, in the lifts, etc.), at the end they decided to come back and to live together. I certainly did not find any morale in this film, or anything to be taught to the audience. Nuti and Clarissa Burt acted well while Ricky Tognazzi did it shortly and modestly, but Nuti did not finalize any objective idea or message when he directed this film.

"Caruso Paskoski di padre polacco" was Francesco Nuti's finest hour. I had the luck of living in Italy at the time of its release and, as demented as the film was, it was hilarious. It's a comedy, and it perfectly fulfils its job without ever being banal or over-simplistic so i don't quite see the point previously made about the film "not having a specific message". It's a tale of nymphomania, jealousy and quite intriguing is the little poke at the culture of self-importance of many a 'shrink' - not to mention the inevitable nod at the "matriarcal" texture of Italian society. The only shame is that "Caruso Paskoski" isn't available in any other language. Nevertheless Nuti's humour is quintessentially an Italian one, more so with its consistent relying on typically Tuscan expressions and Florentine accent which you would only appreciate in full if you're a fluent Italian speaker. Truly entertaining.
