Escalation (I) (1968)
6/10
Commedia Sexy with Claudine AUGER and Lino CAPOLICCHIO
20 February 2024
An Italian industrialist (Gabriele FERZETTI) is desperate: his son (Lino CAPOLICCHIO) has become a hippie. A psychologist (Claudine AUGER) is supposed to "reprogram" him. And she does a great job: soon she is the wife of the dilapidated heir to the company. But then the capitalist pig awakens in the son...

Biting satire from Italy that doesn't skimp on Sixties flair! First major role for Lino CAPOLICCHIO (1943-2022), who is best known from THE GARDEN OF THE FINZI-CONTINI. Bond girl (THUNDERBALL) Claudine AUGER (1941-2019) cuts a dazzling figure as always.

You can almost see it as a contemporary document of the '68 movement! And the music is by ACADEMY AWARD winner Ennio MORRICONE (he won the award in 2016 for THE HATEFUL EIGHT)!
