Loves, Bed and Betrayals

About This Movie

Loves, Bed and Betrayals is quite the quirky romp from Alfonso Brescia. It’s a weird blend of slapstick and social commentary wrapped in a comedy about real estate and rural life. The pacing is offbeat, with moments that feel almost pieced together, but that adds to its charm. The characters are exaggeratedly caricatured, especially the scheming speculator, who’s a real piece of work. You get a real sense of the Italian countryside juxtaposed with the chaotic urban planning ambitions. The practical effects are minimal but serve the gags well, and there’s a certain rawness to the filmmaking that feels authentic. If you're into oddball comedies with a touch of social critique, this one's got a unique flavor.

Released by Cineteca Italiana in 1976. · Filmed on location in rural Italy, showcasing local landscapes. · Features a mix of practical effects and comedic gags. · Part of Brescia’s lesser-known cinematic explorations.
