Las tentaciones de Enriqueta

Great humour, freedom, subtlness, extremely cool acting, perfect script, full of surreal melò-dramatic scenes. It is a very very bizarre and funny comedy, much before Almodovar, here there is something which combines self conscious trash Italian comedy with high intellectual humour, some Fellinian-Scola like touch and ironical kitch musical passages. Luciano Salce is still too much underrated as director and actor as well. Giuffrè, Melato, Buccella and Salce himself fit their roles at their best. Look for the final hospital sequence. This film is surprising and deserves to be among other masterpieces as 'L'armata Brancaleone' and 'Il dramma della gelosia'. FC
