Excellent film!


I just saw this and it was better than I expected it to be. I can see the comparisons to LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL, but for the most part, they're quite different.

I agree with your comment, Seven Beauties really took my by surprise today, I had no expectations and I ended up loving this film. The connection between this one and La vita e bella is quite striking indeed. They are both incredible films in their own ways.

For some reasons the scene where one of the character rebels jump in a pool of "you know what" really grab me emotionally. The message was very clear both emotionally and politcally, it was a bit gross but not as gross as some scenes from Passolini's Salo...

A very interesting movie, real good italian cinema from the 70s.

i saw this on pbs in the 80's and fell in love with everything (actors/story/songs/etc.) involved. wertmuller's films are all classy and well-made. this movie got my attention and fascinated with european movies (italian and french). i wish they still made them like this! jf

Excellent, no. Good, yes.

I, too, would call it "good," not "excellent."
