Plot

Francesco, Sergio, and other idle men in a small Italian town in the south spend their days with little purpose.

Sinekatalog’s take

Lina Wertmüller's debut, I basilischi, is a dry, observant and funny portrait of provincial boredom, a precursor to Fellini's I vitelloni.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
