Roman Scandals '73

About This Movie

Roman Scandals '73, directed by Mario Sequi, has this quirky blend of comedy and a touch of absurdity. Chiarina, a young woman trapped in an arranged marriage with a rather unpleasant suitor, finds an oddball ally in a convent monk. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, but it works with the chaotic atmosphere the film creates. It's not just about escaping a bad marriage; it touches on themes of freedom and defiance against societal norms. The performances are a mixed bag; some are exaggerated, fitting the genre's tone, while others bring a more grounded approach. And those practical effects? They add to the film's charm, making it stand out in the sea of early '70s comedies. Definitely has its moments.
