CGiii Comment

It's been described as the Italian Trainspotting...it most definitely is not.

Considering this is meant to be about youth culture, the film has no life...zero energy.

The comedy is - simply - bad slapstick...contrived and humourless.

The camera-work is horrific - too, too many close-ups...and, the lighting is inadequate.

Not good enough and very unpleasant.

The(ir) Blurb...

A bunch of students live in an apartment in Bologna, during the 70's. This is a 24-hour sample of their ordinary life, where, between marjuana, school, university, girls and political contrasts, spectators can get a nice and colourful picture of that time, of those people and of their ideas and problems. Crazy, halucinated, somehow "Trainspotting Italian style", this movie was taken from comic strips by Andrea Pazienza and it respects very well their atmosphere and style.
