Film Synopsis

A flashy forty-something, Dodo has no difficulty attracting the ladies.  But all he wants is the quiet life, lazing in the sun or strolling in a carefree state of mind in the Florida sea town where he lives with his American wife.  Tired of the constraints of married life, he leaves his wife and lives quite contentedly off the spouses of others.  He is a natural parasite.  One day, he strikes up a friendship with a gypsy violinist, Jésus, who settled in the area after a lucky inheritance.  A dramatic incident compels Dodo to seek American citizenship, but how can he become a real American when all he wants to do is laze around all day?

Fellini, Visconti, Antonioni, De Sica, Pasolini... who can resist the intoxicating charm of Italian cinema?
The very best fantasy films in French cinema

The cinema of Japan is noteworthy for its purity, subtlety and visual impact. The films of Ozu, Mizoguchi and Kurosawa are sublime masterpieces of film poetry.
