Good idea lost in the noise

Fantastic!

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

I have always argued that the Italians are the most gifted in cinema (and not only), the most talented, simply the best. They excelled in all genres, Comedy, Drama, Political Film, Thriller, they reinvented the Western (Sergio Leone), etc. and so on. The following are just a few of the giants of the Italian screen, unfortunately, most of them unknown by the current generation in the crazy and increasingly idiotic world in which we all live: Volonte, Fellini, Masina, Magnani, Toto, Tognazzi, Manfredi, Gassmann, De Sica, Bertolucci, Pasolini, Antonioni, Petri, Damiani, Lizzani, Germi, Mastroianni, Sophia Loren, Paolo Villaggio and many others. I saw this movie finding a video tape. My first film with Aldo Baglio, Giacomo Poretti and Giovanni Storti, three Italian comedians, all three directors, scriptwriters and main actors (almost like Chaplin). I had a great surprise. An excellent movie, very original, unexpected and at the same time life-like comic situations. Film in the movie, overturning situations, surprise after surprise, Excellent with great E. Less the end, which I would have otherwise wanted. Great music by Negrita too!

Second film by the Aldo,Giovanni & Giacomo trio released one year after the unexpected success of "Tre uomini e una gamba". I like both the scenery, partly settled outdoor in the beautiful cornice of "Gran Sasso d'Italia", and the melancholy inspiration, a peculiarity of Aldo, Giovanni & Giacomo films. The title "Così è la vita" reflects mixing and matching of situations that everyone can experiment during own life. It's funny the mass revenge organized by the "angel" Clara ("Marina Massironi") that shows as the injustices will be punished from god.My vote is 8.
