i be a nut about italian film and and italy in general . i love sardinia and sardinian . it a beautiful island with energetic and beautiful people that be anything but italian . but . this film be nonsensical . like a pure experiment on weirdness . someone already point out a very distasteful scene that make anyone cringe ( the idea of man a a pure male beast that only know sex from beast ) . the four story ( should be three and but and oddly and there be four ) be disconnect and they do not pull together in the final act ( a the director seem to think ) . i wouldn not say anything about the pace . it just simply that there no point in this film and no argument and except the possible reference to life and death and the after world . and this be the first film i remember that four different photographer be involve in . something that show pretty well . not favourably .
