Reception
editItalian film critic Marco Giusti wrote that the film a"never takes a real stylistic direction", being "uncertain between the erotic, the comic, [and] the dramatic genres".[2] Corriere della Sera film critic Giovanna Grassi described the film as "immersed in an absurd 1970s neorealism where even eroticism, which might have its own commercial significance, loses bite because it is diluted by spurious pseudo-intellectualistic dialogues".[3]
