Nino Manfredi gives a wonderfully comic and sensitive performance as Nino, an Italian working as a waiter in Switzerland. Absent three years from his wife and children--for whom he is theoretically raising money to join him in Swiss prosperity--Nino is a little like David Bowie's dispirited alien in The Man Who Fell to Earth, an outsider too reinvented to return to his roots. Lonely, earthy, and clumsy among the polished locals, Nino has a series of Chaplinesque disasters that ultimately cost him his work permit and resident status. Instead of leaving the country, however, he sneaks back in and stays with a reclusive, beautiful woman (Anna Karina) with something of her own to hide. The adventures don't end there: like a modern Candide, Nino moves from one situation to the next, clinging to his optimism but also a strong suspicion he can never return home. Director Franco Brusati (Forget Venice) has made a rare comedy here that is both light and tough at the same time, with a hero whose clownish trappings don't so much soften his anxieties as make him more sympathetic for suffering them. --Tom Keogh

Vincent Arnaldo (montreal ,canada)
i bought this for 2 reasons because NINO MANFREDI made a ITALIAN SONG that i liked very much and the other because my friend had seen it 35 years ago and he said he liked it .after watching it i found it so so maybe because i have trouble liking italian mvies even though i am ITALIAN.last to say if i was brought in ITALY i would have enjoyed the film better

Hiram Gomez Pardo (Valencia, Venezuela)
An uneducated Italian man tries to find new landscapes of hopes and illusions seeking work in Switzerland,. But sometimes what you seek and what you find don't coincide.
A cult movie in many art houses around the world and certainly one of the amusing but devastating films around this delicate and terrible drama about the inner immigrants.

The humour and lonliness of the mid life journey is so wonderfully portrayed here. "At least when you lose, you get to have a rest."
An unexpected surprise to find this one. Don't worry about about missing a few of the subtitles, this movie is too good to miss.

This is a great movie, about Italian immigrants in Switzerland. Any one who bought this DVD edition could tel me if it is in original language (Italian)? And which are the subtitles avaliable? Thanks.

While the movie is delightful, this DVD should have been condemned. The titles are unreadable 30 to 40% of the time. What slappdash work on a good movie. The producers should be ashamed.
