El pelo de la desgracia

This movie is simply excellent! Lino Banfi gives an outstanding performance as he plays an Italian businessman with some communication problems with his family. First things first, Altomare (Banfi - the main character) is a very superstitious man from southern Italy. He constantly fights against bad luck and strives not to get into trouble.

He's the typical average Italian man and the movie is nice because it shows the little contradictions of the average Italian family. One needs to understand the Italian language well as to get the gist of the messages and have a profound knowledge of the Italian culture.

The second episode with actor Johnny Dorelli is inconsistent and useless to watch. Best to focus on the first one, named "Il Pelo della Disgrazia". I never get tired of it.
