Why watch this film?
A Italian remake of the French film with the same name, "Gli infedeli", follows five stories that share a common theme: infidelity. The characters are excessive and sympathetic at the same time, managing to be repulsive, comical, and depressing. The film has a very current and easily identifiable context - if you have ever gone through a situation of jealousy, where you doubt your partner, you will identify with one of the stories. "Gli infedeli" has good performances and interesting reflections on relationships, however it shows a very macho view of why men cheat. Even though it works in the plot, it is not the type of worldview that should continue to be repeated in popular culture.

The Catholic School
Directed by Stefano Mordini ('The Infidels'), 'La scuola cattolica' is an Italian film inspired by a real criminal scandal that happened in 1975: the Circeo massacre, in which Donatella Colasanti and Rosaria Lopez were raped, culminating in the murder of the latter. The story takes place inside and around the exclusive Italian school that gives its name to the case, where education and conservative values are promoted, in a portrait of the hypermasculine and repressive Italian society of the time. The success of the movie is the way it reconstructs Italy in the 1970s, although it is very mild in its condemnation of fascism - and its last act is as indulgent as it is exploratory. If you like films about real crimes and are curious about this particular case, this production may be for you.
