BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Luca-Aversa I was vexed by this film simply because it reaffirms a reality too close to me. Nepotism, something that Italians do unashamedly very well.I should know, I come from a family that left Italy because of the difficulty this poses to everyday people who are not affiliated with anyone in 'Power'. I myself am reluctant to return to Italy because of this cancer which has been bringing the country down for centuries.NOTHING is done on merit, its all about who you know and what you're willing to trade.This movie exposes the underbelly of Italian nepotism and it possibly shows us how desperate people have become in their need for survival, and a social heed to progress or remain a 'nobody' forever.Probably anyone who is not Italian will find this movie 'Funny' or even 'Aritistic' but for anyone who was born in Italy or has lived there for a few year, this film is brilliantly sad as it unmasks the 'Bel Paese'.

John Curtz This movie is about Italy, but it goes deeper than any documentary could do.However it's not a pessimistic movie: it's full of gags and humour, symbol of a Country that is impossible to portrait in a serious way.Pier, the leading character, is a sort of Silvio Berlusconi, former Italian prime minister, but he's more human, but not less tragic.He is obsessed by sex and by stealing each other's souls and bodies, and he is just a man with an empire in decline.Erotic scenes fading in humouristic ones, tragic mixed with grotesque, brilliant dialogues and extreme sequences: this movie is quite unique.The actors are all good. The most talented one is the girl who plays Bea (Adele Raes), really moving.

Reginald Curtiz It's a strange movie. I thought it was an erotic one, but it's a sort of comedy. It's about Italy and scandals, but it's quite a cruel portrait of people searching quick ways to fame and success.Many sequences are visually charming (like the orgy's one), and the dialogues are always funny.The leading actor, who plays the character of Pier, is a sort of Pasolini mixed with Madds Mikkelsen, and he's really good. The actress are quite good looking, and they are all perfect in their roles.Usually I don't like Italian movies, but this one seems like a German one, or a Korean one.

grantss Random, pretentious, pointless.The synopsis for this movie was interesting, in that it is (purportedly) based on the Marquis De Sade's "120 Days of Sodom" (which I haven't read) and Italian politics. It also seemed to have parallels with Pier Paulo Pasolini's "Salo - 120 Days of Sodom". I haven't seen Salo, but it is one of the most controversial movies ever made (and by many accounts one of the most offensive movies ever made).So, could be interesting from a movie history perspective, and a literature perspective.However, it is a total waste of time. Plot is random, at best, and incredibly pretentious. There is no point at all - it's just barely-connected scenes.If there is any link to the book or movie there is the fact that the one character is named Pier and he is a rather eccentric, creepy film-maker. So it could be some sort of abstract Pasolini biopic, set in 2014. But that would be giving the writer and director of this movie far too much credit...
