Not that, in its substance, «Il macellaio» is particularly distant from the average porn movie. It features a butch, a stunner, alternance between a wealthy house and the popular market of 'A Vucciria in Palermo, Sicily, a sunny picturesque cross-section of Mediterranean civilization's, still half-alive to our day, roots. None of the cast could appear capable of being judged an actor, less for Predrag Manojlovic - who in fact stated his uneasiness about this work -, nobody would likely say there is a writing behind action or a director behind the camera, and the eventual brazen-facedness of someone trying to suggest this is art would met the typical perplexed and hardly kind smile statements of this kind meet when made about porns. It is nevertheless to be stated that Alba Parietti's sensuality is so remarkable as to heat the view and give it mean yet not devoid of energy sexual charge, notwithstanding she can't be classified as an actress.
