Horribly cruel and one-sided, 14 January 2006
2/10
Author: Isabelle Michelet from Bangkok, Thailand

Italy -1970s. A miserable house built in the poor suburbs of the city. The whole family lives there, and the only one who has money is the father, jealous and weary guardian of his treasure. No values, no morality other than envy and greed. No lost love either -the father lives in the constant fear of being robbed by his own children, until he falls in love with a stranger and imposes her in the over-crowded house, in his wife's very bed. A terrible, cruel picture of the life of the poor, who are refused here the most basic human dignity. Uncomfortable and unfair, this movie cannot been watched without revolt against the one-sided film maker who just painted the dark side of a more subtle reality. What exactly has Ettore Scola tried to achieve with such manicheism???
