MIMI, O METALÚRGICO

Mimi, a Sicilian laborer, loses his job, wife, and home after refusing to vote for the Mafia’s candidate. He revives his spirits by falling in love with the beautiful, radical Fiorella, with whom he starts a new life as a reliable husband and father, but the past comes back to haunt him…

Has any national cinema satirized its homeland better than Italy? The Seduction of Mimi brought Lina Wertmüller international fame, winning her Best Director at Cannes. This ferociously raucous, unrestrained sex comedy ties political corruption, culture, and libido together and sends them spinning.
