Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaTiziana Lodato's debut. She has full nude scenes and when filming began (september 1994), she was still a minor. But she said she was already 18 when she played the explicit sex scene with Sergio Castellitto. However her mother was upset. "She absolutely did not want me to make the film, although everyone reassured her by telling her Tornatore is an important director, he won the 'Oscar', but she did not give a damn. She said: my daughter's nude scenes, no. In the end I convinced her," Lodato said.

Stunning To See, And A Sad Comment
This attractive Italian film featured an interesting story and some pretty women. It's a story about a man who dupes the natives (Sicilians, in this case) into thinking they could become movies stars after paying money to him to get a personal screen test. This turns out to be a pathetic comment about the unrealistic lure of fame and fortune.
This film really looks good on widescreen DVD. It is gorgeous, just beautifully filmed, and I'm not just referring to the figures on the women.
The dialog is a bit strange, at least to us over here in the States. I suppose this is considered a comedy but I saw it more as a drama. Yes, there are laughs, but it's pitiful how easily people are duped and what their values are.
I found this an entertaining movie all the way through. With the nudity, it's not for kids (hence, the "R" rating.)
