English title: Seven Beauties.
The life story of an Italian man living in the Mussolini years. He kills his sister's pimp and fiancé, feigns madness, goes to war, deserts, is made a prisoner by the Germans.
A poor film, in every aspect but the acting. A sort of portrait, I think, of the "common man" of Italy, with his political ignorance, his sexist worldview, and, perhaps most basic of them all, his survival instinct. The mise-en-scene is at times awkward, the tone is highly caricatural, not my idea of fun, really.
