1965: Paris, London and Milan all move at the same fast pace, fueled by a fresh creative and rebellious impetus. Guido Crepax picks up on this energy and transfers it to a comic strip in which art, music, design, film and fashion all blend together, breaking with traditional narrative structure. The dreamy photographer Valentina becomes Crepax' alter ego: as lovely as Louise Brooks, as disturbing as one of Lucio Fontana's slashed canvases, as knowing as Bob Dylan's lyrics, and as freewheeling as Charlie Parker's compositions.
Italy, 1977. Professor Bruschi is a retired widower who lives according to a strict routine he set for himself. An ardent old-style communist, he has always been at odds with the unconventional lifestyle led by his son and his hippieish girlfriend Stella. When their four-year-old daughter is left in his care out of the blue after the two break up, the old professor becomes a sort of father figure to the girl, growing fond of her. However he's once again challenged when Stella also arrives for a stay in his elegant villa, reclaiming custody of her daughter.
‘칼리귤라’ ‘올레이디 두잇’에서 ‘모넬라’에 이르기까지 에로스의 거장이라는 이름으로 군림해 온 초연하고 고상한 감독 틴토 브라스. 그런 그가 자신이라 할 수 있는 한 남자의 눈을 통해 성과 죽음의 아득함을 일깨우며 하룻밤 동안을 그려낸 관능적인 하드보일드한 작품. 이상할 정도로 엉덩이에 집착하는 틴토 브라스의 취향은 이 작품에서도 작렬한다. 더욱이 전편에 흐르는 허무적인 톤이 평범한 에로에서는 볼 수 없는 독특한 맛이 있다. 주연은 이탈리아가 자랑하는 명배우 쟌카를로 잔니니.
