What a wild comedy-romance this movie is, with the emphasis on comedy. The two main characters in this Italian film are a woman whose job is to fulfill men's fantasies and a movie sound man (Maurizio Nichetti) who creates wild sound for cartoons. He, himself, at the end, briefly turns into a cartoon character! I told you this was wild and, yes, a bit absurd, but it makes it unique.

The woman, Angela Finochhiaro, is fun to watch and she appears comfortable doing comedy. In here, she lets men do such things as pour chocolate all over her, pretend she's a holdup victim, scare her by driving too fast, watch her while she's nude, whatever, mostly crazy things.

Despite the latter, it's not a sleazy film although certainly not wholesome family material, either, but it's not sex-obsessed and there is almost no profanity. All the characters are basically nice people.

It's different, and worth a look if you can find it. I don't believe this has ever been put out on a Region 1 DVD. What a shame.

Maurizio Nichetti stars and directs this film. He is like a modern day Buster Keaton, and in this movie he plays a character who dubs cartoon sounds into Italian (sounds). His brother has the equally unnecessary job of dubbing porno movies into Italian. The movie is funny and comically erotic.

A clever comedy that mixes animation with real life. Well done another masterpiece from Maurizio Nichetti.
