VERY kinky film. I guffawed throughout (loved the hammer in the head!) but was slightly let down by the ending, which should have been more magic-realist.

I lived and worked with people like Mastroianni's character. Each time I watch this film I am reminded of the complexities of schizophrenia and how so many live in society with this mental illness and are not only socially successful, but vicious in their ability to manipulate others. Although it's a bit fantastic and perhaps mild by way of someone with schizophrenia, what a nice introduction to madness!
