This movie, which is situated in Italy in 1944, when the Nazis were being driven out by the American army, drew a lot of attention in Italy when it came out in 1980. I watched it in an Italian cinema the year after its release and did not like it.
In my opinion, under the pretext of realism, the director tried to attract a large audience by producing a movie wíth a maximum of shocking scenes, hoping that it would lead to a lot of discussion and, thereby, publicity (in which she certainly succeeded). The movie perspires, however, such a negative atmosphere, that even the presence of such famous actors like Marcello Mastroiani and Claudia Cardinale cannot save it.
That a war movie presents some shocking scenes is quite natural. But in La Pelle » they are not balanced by any scenes perspiring humanity and positive sentiments. That a movie about the same violent period can be an enjoyment to watch is shown, for example, by the brothers Taviani in « La Notte di San Lorenzo », a film that I can warmly recommend. I would not recommend « La Pelle » to anyone.
