Addio al nubilato

Watched this on a connection flight which passed through Rome, and at some point it surprised me. The movie is a typical comedy about a group of girlfriends, their relationships and mid life crisis. It replicates the hollywood formulas with italian elements, offering a portion of italian humour to everyday themes. Reinforcing some common race stereotypes, the movie takes the chance to include a black man in the position of a sex worker, in a typical voersexualizing of black bodies and racist jokes that were hardly necessary. Some people seem to think that as long as you make it clear that it is a 'joke', than there is no problem in being racist. Obviously white people and especially christians love the idea of justifying themselves and asking for forgiveness, so they can continue to sin endlessly. Recreational racism is still racism. Regrettable.
