Description: Rich and willful beauty Raphael and a poor sailor-communist Gennarino destiny brought to a desert island. Around for miles, not a soul. Somewhere far remained a luxury yacht on which the lady with friends and her husband had a rest, and the sailor had worked diligently, silently borne the whims of the exploiters. He now has a great opportunity to make up for all the humiliations. But from the class hatred to a passionate love, as we know, is not that far away …
Review: A brilliant comedy. Although wait, what kind of comedy, it’s more like a farce, a drama with elements of comedy, life in the end.
Yes, the first half of the film takes place in a heated political debate, but it is only against the background of a scene is an ancient mystery – a relationship between a man and a woman.
Giancarlo Giannini is just a storm – so much emotion and life would be enough for a crowd of people. Its expression has the edge.
In no way inferior to him and Mariandzhela Melatiah. Quintessence bitch though as it turned out it was not her fault. She just was not worthy of a man. That weak men do women bitch. A great example of how there is love, what is love.
The film is not for little girls – too loud to be popping patterns. Special piquancy gives this film knowing that the director of this masterpiece – a woman! Lina Vertmyuller!
I suspect it was only at the end of the film. I believe that the director still prevailed at the end of a woman.
