Extremely likable bittersweet dramedy that is better on the drama end than the comedy, though it has a few funny moments and occasionally has a lighter touch than you'd expect with some of the more serious moments. The characters are interesting and feel authentic. If you're into older Italian movies in general, you'll probably like this even more, as there are cameos from people like Fellini and Mastroianni and De Sica and references to their films.

A movie that switches about half way through from b/w to color photography, and should have special appeal to aficionados of classic Italian cinema. Old Cinecittà was aways self-referential, but here there is a veritable overload of tributes to the likes of Rossellini, De Sica, Visconti, Antonioni and their writers and actors, plus cameos by Fellini and Mastroianni. Otherwise the substance is nothing too original, but certainly lively, well-acted bittersweet comedy.

Beautifully playful look at three decades in the lives of three men and the woman they all desire. Scola has a lot of fun with the medium, breaking the fourth wall, playing with time, exposing the interior lives of the characters, and loading up on references to classic cinema. Besides being a terrific love letter to movies, it's also a heartfelt character study, with some dashes of political commentary. The only real downside is the score, which comes off a bit limp and twee.

It's pretty epic in its scale, quite funny and touching at times as well.

I suppose it gets a lot done in a couple of hours. I just didn't care for any of it.

Loved the political expositions, the character evolution, the musical theme, the direction. Just a big italian classic movie, shining even after 50 years.

I know this one came earlier, but I couldn't help thinking about "four friends" the entire run time - which did it better, although way less campy.

Avrei voluto che fosse un po' più breve, la seconda parte ha perso un po' della magnifica cinematografia e della rottura del quarta parete presente all'inizio, ma vedere come si svolgono i conflitti è stato molto bello. Sembra giusto che alla fine uno di loro abbia finito per abbandonare definitivamente la sua ideologia e unirsi all'alta borghesia corrotta: molte cose gli vengono perdonate, ma quella no.
