La Califfa

Add this one to the growing list of Italian movies about middle-aged men whose lives are reinvigorated by cheating on their wives with women half their age. The soundtrack to this movie is one of Ennio Morricone’s best and I’ve been seeking this out for quite some time. The story is about a rich factory owner who begins to empathize with his striking workers after having an affair with the wife of a killed striker. He ends up in between the two sides and yadda yadda, love story, boom, dead. This is just thinly veiled commie gobbledygook and, worse than that, it’s dull.
