I'm about a third of the way in, and I have to agree with some of the other comments.
1. The dialogue has quite a bit of Italian, which is not translated in captions, and totally ignored in closed captions. So far, it's not a deal-breaker, but I wonder what I'm missing.
2. While I think it's more of a description of slice of society that existed in the 70s, and probably has echoes today, I can see the point of those disappointed in the lack of internal strength in the main couple by not standing up to their fathers. It is more a tale of picking your battles, that life is not fair, and that sometimes parents and children have differing understandings of love and parental guidance.
3. As a period piece, the writer/director gives us a wonderfully detailed view into their concept of this societal expectation.
I look forward to finding time to finish it. Thanks.
