La bella di Lodi

A romantic drama about a young woman from a wealthy family (Stefania Sandrelli) who falls in love with a mechanic (Ángel Aranda), whom she meets at the beach.

Although I recognize that the film has a fast pace, that Stefania Sandrelli is a captivating actress, that the wedding party in the family mansion has a clear purpose of social criticism, in an exposition of bourgeois decadence, and even that the character of the grandmother, the old matriarch of the family, whom Roberta will inevitably succeed, given her initiative and vigor, is of an unquestionable density, I have to conclude that all of this is not enough.

In the end, the inevitable feeling is of waste, of banality.

A film for fetishists of the beautiful Stefania Sandrelli.
