  This movie is really hilarious, and Mastroianni gives a perfect performance. The story is good, this movie is a great dark comedy, and I love it. They later made an American version of it, Divorce American Style, which wasn't as funny. I recommend this movie instead.

  Great great dark comedy from Germi. Marcello Mastroianni gives a jaw dropping performance

  One of Mastroianni's best performances, and a new favorite of mine. Dark Comedy at it's finest.

  Mastroianni execising his comedic muscles. A very funny film about the decline and fall of the Italian aristocracy, including murder, incest, revenge, alcoholism, and electronic surveillance. How interesting here to showcase the controversial release of <i>La Dolce Vita</i>, a film in which Mostroianni is actually incapable of love, and which, in a not-at-all funny way, focuses as well on the dissolution of Italian society.

  [font=Century Gothic]In "Divorce, Italian Style," Ferdinando(Marcello Mastroianni) is a 37-year old baron of a once noble household, now impoverished by his father's(Odoardo Spadaro) gambling. Due to his uncle(Ugo Torrente) taking over the debts, he has moved his own family into the opposite wing of the family mansion. This is not all that saddens Ferdinando as his once lovely wife Rosalia(Daniela Rocca) has not aged gracefully at all. In fact, he is looking to trade up to a younger model, in this case his 16-year old cousin Angela(Stefania Sandrelli) who to his pleasant surprise reciprocates his love. Now, he can think of nothing but killing his wife and has gone so far as to concoct a plan...[/font] [font=Century Gothic]"Divorce, Italian Style" is a very entertaining and unpredictable black comedy of manners with a satirical edge. The divorce of the title is never mentioned as it was probably seriously frowned upon, if not impossible, in conservative Sicily where the movie is set. Actually, if not for contemporary references, this would definitely feel like a period piece. Young women's purity is paramount and the Church rails impotently against "La Dolce Vita"(a weird reference under the circumstances) as being filth. Well, I have only seen the first two hours, so who knows? So, with divorce out of the question, what is somebody like Ferdinando, loathsome as he is, supposed to do?[/font]

  One of the best comedies ever! This brilliant satire Italian Men and their attitudes toward women is one film that you shouldn't miss!
