About
If you enjoy abrasive, cynical Italian tragicomedy that mixes big laughs with disgust and social critique, this may land for you; Not for you if you want sympathetic characters or a gentle tone like A Special Day.
Pros: vicious dark humor; unforgettable poverty portrait; provocative social bite | Cons: deeply uncomfortable content; vulgar and cruel tone; divisive class depiction
