Sinekatalog’s take
Pietro Germi's black comedy has a Sicilian father scrambling to save his family's honour after his daughter's seduction. Sharp, savage and funny, with Saro Urzì superb, it is a classic Italian satire of honour codes.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
