this film have great act and great photography and a very strong story line that really make you think about who you be and how you define yourself and how you fit in and whether you accept to play a role or break free . there already be excellent comment deal with these aspect . i want to comment on the formal setting of the film . basically and it two people on a roof . there be unity of place and time and with 2 protagonist and and the radio acting a the choir . many director have turn greek tragedy into film and many director have film contemporary story a if they be a greek tragedy and but no director and in my opinion and have succeed as admirably a ettore scola in approach the purity and force of the great greek tragedy both in story line and formal setting . a masterpiece .
