has a very disturbing sex scene O_O

The story wasn't very interesting or even told very well and it was all edited rather poorly. There were enough things to keep me entertained though; light comedy, beautiful photography, great use of colors and Mimi is definitely a unique character.

For four years, Wertmuller cranks out one underappreciated masterpiece per year, all starring Giancarlo Giannini, starting with this one, the most neglected of the four. Like its follow-ups, Mimi is a gut-wrenchingly, heartbreakingly, mind-blowingly funny and touching tragicomedy about love and politics. It's not the best but stands out as the heavily Southern Italian one. Giannini and Melato are magnificent.

Starts off heavy, becomes increasingly humorous - I lost count on how many times a facial expression from Giannini cracked me up. I wish this collaboration of Wertmüller/Giannini/Melato/Fiore could have lasted forever.
