Ettore Scola.
This is a very political film. Made in the Seventies when they really where this kind of housing in Italy or in Paris, you can find them still in South America or elswhere, we called them " slums ".
I had to thought of Pasolini and his Accatone, and in a way also to his Decameron, in a marxist way. With the difference that the poors here do not want to start a revolution, but we as the spectactor should and would for them!
Society gives them not enough to die nor to live. And only with utterly arrogance.
It is also satirical with rage, sometimes in a way as did Chaplin in the Gold Rush.
The televison is here the window to the outside world.
Sexuality is here only to remind us that it is a human basic and an instrument to prostitution for female and male, a dark spot on our society, sell your self or starve.
It is also like a Dada painting.
Thy are ugly, mean and dirty. Yes it is easyer when you are poor.
There were so much more to say, but.....
Not a film like a story but more a document.
If you can see it.
You get out richer, and you will be remind of things of the present who did make our past.
Follow Ups:
I think you are spot on about the social aspects of the film - although I tend to ignore those and concentrate on the overal flow. In this film it was perfectly direct, no mystery, so it was easy to acknowledge it.I haven't seen this one in years, it is not the kind of a film you would want to see too often.
No, no! I did not watch this film with the social aspect present in big letters! The moment I thought " Pasolini " it must have work underground...And the afterthoughts brang this up in full glory.
I think this film merits to be seen at least a second time. First it is erotic the Italian way ( Fellini ) ok! First it is multi layered, and the main actor is magnifiscient ( Manfredi ).
It is a satire, and as such, one of the very few that actually do work.
Mr. Moore should have on his " film to see " before I "opend my mouth"...
And now I will drive to choose one of this Pugs....
...for lack of a single word to define it (that word doesnīt seem to exist in English language; in Spanish we have "esperpento", a word practically coined by Valle-Inclán to define some of his stageworks)Yes, it is a powerful, disturbingly human film.
