Maybe the fin de siecle atmosphere is the main virtue of this italian film about relations, first love and mature love, family and dreams, teenagers and impossible love , tensions and a monkey.
I was seduced by it for the nostalgic air , for nice acting and for the impressive death of Hella.
For furniture and music, for the dialogue and for few profound provocative - to unrealistic scenes - . And for the speech about flies, off course.
In my case, a film working like a sort of refuge. The basic virtue, fair portrait of subtle forms of innocence. And, sure, the exploration of aspects of a vacantion.
