Die Fremdgeher

Everything looks dull, and old, like a 60's movie...Dialogue is so stupid...I kept looking for 20 minutes, hoping for an improvement...just a waste of time.

Among the reviews there's one "2" justified by the fact that's hard to follow the film with subtitles...Probably shouldn't give a film a bad review if you couldn't grasp nuances due to not understanding its language?

All in all, if you do speak the language, it is a quirky and irreverent film that -I believe- won't bore you. It could have been better in many ways but saying more would trigger spoilers :)

A depiction of what great lengths philandering husbands will go to satisfy their unbridled libido. Some vignettes are funny but one particular story may hurt the sensibilities of women because of its offensive message and a subtle nod to the husband's machinations.

One of the characters poses a question towards the film's end: when we screw others, are we screwing ourselves? Another emphatically responds: no, we screw those of us who're screwing her. Profound or absurd? Take your pick.

For whatever its worth, the duo Riccardo Scamarcio and Valerio Mastandrea make the viewer laugh at the nutty situations they find themselves in and, perhaps, at himself.

Don't mistake this for the 2021 French film of the same title.

After the plane scene at the beginning of the film, a sort of gags happen, which seem to be disconnected. Some funny situations, but that is it. Poor ending.

*" 'Gli Infedeli' is a 2020 Italian anthology film that weaves stories of infidelity and male fragility, with moments of sharp wit but frequently falling into predictable patterns. It does well in some genres, notably in being very quick-witted with an odd streak of dark humor, though it falters on uneven pacing and character development.". The cast in ensemble-Riccardo Scamarcio, Valerio Mastandrea-are energetic performers, but the film banks a lot on stereotypes regarding love and relationships without contributing anything new to the genre. *Gli Infedeli* is, after all, watchable but basically uneven: there's laughter here, but it doesn't finally affect the viewer.
