Unflinching portrayal
6 May 2001
A stark picture from Marco Ferreri; "Tales Of Ordinary Madness" is the perfect vehicle for the multi-talented Gazzara who plays the part of a tortured poet/writer immersed in talent and alcoholic dependence. He seduces a number of beautiful women and falls in love with one; the divine Cass.

The path to happiness is not straightforward however and the second half of the film sees a descent into bleakness.

Uncomfortable viewing but essential nonetheless.
