Reviews for Il Bidone
A very dark vision that isn't always pleasant to look at but is nonetheless fascinating.
An obvious cheap-crime picture, very much on the sentimental side, and therefore thematically inferior to the two films it fell between. But it contains some very strong Fellini phases and accumulations of moods that make it well worth seeing.
