A bit shocking, but it leaves you cold, 14 February 2000
5/10
Author: Dario Birindelli from Firenze, Italy

I found it a bit disappointing. There are great moments -the funeral or the dance party for example- but as a whole I came out of the theater pretty unimpressed. Still, you have to remember that it first came out in 1965,and what happens in the movie must have chilled the Italian public of that time. Rating;6
