The love song of the male blackbird
Lando BUZZANCA (1935-2022), who died shortly before Christmas 2022, can once again be seen in an Italian erotic comedy (Commedia Sexy). He plays a cellist in Verona who suffers from being overlooked by everyone. A colleague from the arena orchestra (Lino TOFFOLO) always has nasty jokes with him. One day the cellist accidentally discovers that the breathtaking figure of his wallflower wife Costanza (WOW!: Laura ANTONELLI) does have an effect on other men. From then on, he encourages his wife to regularly appear naked in front of other men. Of course, this is becoming more and more psychopathological...
Allusion is to a sexual pathological phenomenon called candaulism, which is named after a story told by Herodotus. King Kandaules ensures that his retainer Gyges sees the beautiful queen naked. By the way, that is also the story that EUROPEAN FILM AWARD winner Kristin SCOTT THOMAS tells in THE ENGLISH PATIENT around a campfire in the Sahara.
Above all, this film by Pasquale Festa CAMPANILE is about showing Laura ANTONELLI's breathtaking body in the Eva costume as often as possible. The woman's body is illuminated intensively, while Mr. BUZZANCA is only photographed modestly. Nowadays a film like this couldn't be made, except as a Polish-Italian NETFLIX production...😜
