Sorry, I don't really know what to say... I don't honestly think this one is a great film [EDIT (2 YEARS LATER): WHAT? OF COURSE I DO!], but...
Elio Petri's directing work is probably my favourite of all-time.
Fun.

Wut. This has been (aptly) described as a western sulla mafia; if you don't grasp the undertones, well, that's sad.

Lol, I realise that. What brought you here, then?

Well then, I guess it's just sort of disappointing that my effusive praise hasn't coerced you into giving it a chance, "Spaghetti Western" or not. And lawl, indeed, I've sort of come to the realisation that appreciating film from a more objective perspective doesn't consist of monotonously ticking off items in a mental checklist and making sure it adheres to common standards of filmmaking. A Ciascuno il Suo is, put simply, like nothing I've seen before. It's brilliant too.

Take some time off NIN (not a fan, so maybe you got a point... a ciascuno il suo, so they say) and give it a listen. Just to give you a hint of what you're missing on. Anyway, it's a very personal film to me and I'm the first to admit that my taste is awful, but I like to believe I know a good film when I see one. Not that you'd know it (double meaning intended, ). Anyway, that's that. To the next person who stumbles onto this derelict thread (and let's hope you're a little easier to persuade): WATCH THIS FILM! Have a good day.
