Review of Il burbero

Il burbero (1986)
8/10
The beauty and the ... brute
12 December 2023
No pun intended - Adriano Celentano ... not really a poster boy for ... well I don't think you could call him good looking. Or accuse him of that - and yet he was quite the ladies man (and I assume some fellas were smitten by him too - most at least wanted to be him or the cult persona he built).

The movie has aged a bit in some regard - being mean does not really make you attractive to all ladies. Of course our main woman character is also blonde - and she has quite a few blonde moments. Cliches are important here - and it is also important that you do not have issues with them ... otherwise the movie will feel like torture.

Cringe and all what you may be saying. The movie is also quite self aware - the dialog is quite funny. Again not always pc, but you shouldn't expect something like that from a movie from that era anyway. Acting is good, some physical comedy and a lot of winking at the audience ... they knew what they had to deliver for them ... and I reckon it still can work ... it's all on you! You do not need to be a detective to solve that case ... or switch them ...
