Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Right up the alley of anyone drawn to the darker side of the street and people who like their stories with a little heart-flutter. Plenty of moral grey areas to chew on.
The mood
Dark and gritty, warm and romantic.
The pace
Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 48 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in Italian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1969: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.
