forgotten gem

Class struggle, environmental awareness, critique of industrialization, love, cultural mores. all explored with quirky elegance and utmost kindness for two young characters who are trying to find their way in the world, and to each other. heartbreaking and hilarious. sandrelli and gemma bring to life rare moments of non-pathetic tenderness. the writing is sharp and on point, the directing minimalist. i don't know why this film is not more present on the radar. perhaps it loses steam in translation; perhaps it's because there are no heroes, only people, and one single, desperate grand gesture ...

Trivia
The film was presented at the 1974 Cannes Film Festival. According to an anecdote director Luigi Comencini shared in his autobiography, the festival's jury presided by René Clair was strongly considering to award the film's lead Stefania Sandrelli with the Best Actress award. However, juror Monica Vitti was able to talk the other members out of it by revealing the fact-- of which they were unaware-- that Sandrelli had been dubbed in the film with a Southern Italy accent by colleague Carla Todero.
