The Seduction of Mimi

4 years ago at Apr 11 2:13
A perfect sampler for the cinema of Lina Wertmüller, one of Italian cinema’s biggest provocateurs. The Seduction of Mimi not only unites the director with her two best stars, Giancarlo Giannini and Mariangela Melato, but offers an accessible primer on her artistic outlook and prevailing themes. Wertmüller’s camera is obsessed with corpulent flesh and the strife of the working class, often co... read more

Description: THE SEDUCTION OF MIMI is a raucous sex comedy that brought international fame to director Lina Wertmüller. Giancarlo Giannini gives a wonderfully comic performance as the sad sack Mimi, a Sicilian laborer whose refusal to vote for the Mafia’s candidate leads him to lose his job, his wife, and his home. At rock bottom, he revives his spirits by falling in love with the beautiful, radical Fiorella (Mariangela Melato), with whom he starts a new life as a reliable husband and father. But the past comes back to haunt him, piling on comical complexities as all his energies surge into defending his honor, an obsession that has horre ... (more)

The Seduction of Mimi

“A perfect sampler for the cinema of Lina Wertmüller, one of Italian cinema’s biggest provocateurs. The Seduction of Mimi not only unites the director with her two best stars, Giancarlo Giannini and Mariangela Melato, but offers an accessible primer on her artistic outlook and prevailing themes. Wertmüller’s camera is obsessed with corpulent flesh and the strife of the working class, often conflating or merging sex and politics into one thing.   All of that is present in the journey of Carmelo, aka Mimi, as he runs afoul of a corrupt government and his machismo gets grounded down. The “seduction” is a multifold experience as he gets seduced by a beautiful anarchist, by revenge, by defending his battered masculine pride. There isn’t just one seduction afforded to Mimi in this ” read more

"27.3.2020, YLE Areena Elokuvan juuret ovat vahvasti kietoutuneet italialaiseen 70-luvun yhteiskuntaan ja poliittiseen kenttään, mutta vähintään yhtä suurta huomiota on suotu erittäin hauskalle ja temperamenttiselle, pääosin eroottiselle komiikalle, joka on toteutettu ja kirjoitettu niin nerokkaasti, että se todella palvelee teoksen satiirista yhteiskuntakritiikkiä. Yleinen tempo, rytmitys ja näyttelijäsuoritukset loistavat. Ääniraidalla on paljon musiikkia, ja sitä käytetään "
