    Super strange 60's pseudo giallo. Did you read the plot description? It is actually more of a Godardian black comedy on the bourgeoisie than it is a thriller. It has got a neat experimental, late 60's Euro pop-art flavor with its epilepitcal editing, absurd dialogue and characters, and a jarring score. The film is constructed like a puzzle and you go from one seemingly surreal scene to the next. You are never truly allowed to get your footing, even at the end when all becomes clear, you may be left scratching your head and chuckling at the audacity of writer/director Questi for concocting such a bizarre little story. Or you might just be ticked off.

    Not for everyone, not even for all giallo/Euro-cult fans but if you are in the mood for something dark and unique from the world of 60s Euro cinema you should try to track it down.
