Nessuno mi puo giudicare (2011) **

Hollywood-style Italian comedy about a spoiled rich woman who finds herself destitute after her husband's death and has to pay his debts by becoming a prostitute. An uneasy mixture of cynical sophistication and saccharine sentimentality, more successful as a crowd-pleaser than a lucid exploration of Italian hypocrisy, machismo and sexist double standards. And despite its subject matter, it has no nudity at all. If this was English-speaking Hollywood movie, it would have been a huge international hit, in United States, in Italy and everywhere else. But because it's in Italian, it will only be a huge hit in Italy, and then Hollywood will buy the rights and re-make it as a racy rom-com starring Jennifer Garner and Owen Wilson.
