I first saw this film 7 years ago at the age of 22 and it created an impression on me for days. I still remember the curtains, the "Belle èpoque" scenes of an Italian city, the beautiful lady, the difference between city life and peasants back in those days, the revolutionary anarchists.... I recommend this film for the scent it leaves for years after seeing it, also I recommend it because the theme of this film and the period of producing it are a distant non returning past of European history and European film making.
