The Icicle Thief (1989)

£0.00

(Ladri di saponette)


Country: IT
Technical: bw/col 85m
Director: Maurizio Nichetti
Cast: Maurizio Nichetti, Caterina Sylos Labini, Federico Rizzo

Synopsis:

A social realist director is invited to a TV airing of his film, but is aghast when the world of the commercial breaks interferes with the characters of the movie.

Review:

As the punning title(s) imply, this is a playful mix of the black and white world of De Sica's classic and a satire on modern consumerism, with a glamorous model draped across our working class hero's kitchen. Put another way, it's The Purple Rose of Cairo meets Ginger e Fred, and is quirky, inventive and quite funny.
