Vergogna, schifosi!...

First, this is not a giallo. There are elements of a thriller and comedy. But I think it's mostly a criticism of society. And I found it to be sad.

The acting is quite good. Lino Capolicchio really stands out here and steals every scene he is in. The story is also interesting. Though, I'm sure the poor subtitles added to the mystery, and I'm betting the film would be more straightforward and less mysterious if I knew Italian.

The version I had was poorly edited with abrupt transitions. It may just be the version I saw and perhaps there is another version out there with better editing. Also, the version I saw had long periods without a score. But when the score does emerge, it is pretty amazing stuff from a time gone by. Psychedelic and kind of haunting sound. Online, it appears that the soundtrack is more famous than the movie. It's a real treat from Ennio Morricone.
