I really like this director's later films We Have Pope and others.
But oh dear, this really is terrible. SO slow, SO tedious, SO tiresome - actually I did close my eyes for about 20 minutes in the middle.
The story? There is none. A man (the director and writer) rides around on his Vespa, occasionally borderline mental as he dances and annoys strangers. A weird Flashdance subplot left me baffled.
The ONLY redeeming feature were some funny lines and scenes in the final chapter, when the man gets a rash and visits doctors and Chinese medicine charlatans.
But apart from that, this has to be one of the worst films I have ever seen and worst Italian films too.
Baffling. Boring. Blah!
Very hard going indeed.
