Un borghese piccolo piccolo

I've always been eager to see movies with the great Alberto Sordi in the lead role. Usually they are comedies, some very successful. This time we find him in a movie that starts as a comedy, then becomes extremely dramatic, it even makes you shiver. Hours after I just watched him I keep thinking about him. Life is sometimes very unfair to some. The way he does justice is fully justified, after seeing how much he loved his son for whom he did everything to see him employed in a good position, he also gives his son marital advice, in a word, he takes care of his future as well as possible, even resorting to the help of Freemasonry. No such films are made anymore. nowadays.

I saw this movie must be 30 years ago now, and I will never forget it. It is started out like comedy (that is exactly what you expect when Alberto Sordi is in main role), but it turned into a real life horror very quickly. Many things you will see in this movie are real - taken from the life in Rome (at least I think that was Rome) at that time. The reality of the settings and physiological terror the main characters are experiencing make a lasting impact here. I am waiting for this movie to come out on DVD, but it is not happening for now. If you have an opportunity to see it, do not miss it. You will never forget it.
