Brutti, Sporchi E Cattivi.....

Posted by patrickU (A) on October 23, 2004 at 14:00:55

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.
