About This Movie

The Masseuses (1962) is a curious blend of comedy and lighthearted mischief, typical of the era. Directed by Lucio Fulci, it presents a quirky narrative revolving around two Milanese managers who find themselves entangled with a ring of masseuses in Rome. The entire setup offers a humorous take on bureaucracy and vice, with a certain cheekiness that reflects the social mores of the time. The pacing bounces along with an almost carefree rhythm, while the performances imbue the characters with a playful charm. Fulci's direction, while not as renowned for horror here, shows his knack for creating a fun atmosphere. It’s distinct for its odd juxtaposition of the mundane and the risqué, making it a unique entry in the Italian comedy genre.
