I would also point out the magic moment in it. Particulary the very poetic moment when they copy the theater scene of " freezing " and let thoughts become reality.
And the friendship within the three men who never can be match by any woman in this kind of configuration, but because of them ( women ) we will become traitors and cowards.
How true.Like you said it is also tainted by the " Seventy " feeling of film making as for the unbearable zooming and the typical music...And more.
Follow Ups:
The freeze frames with spotlight were indeed very delicately incorporated in the film - I was sitting there hoping Scola would not overdo it, and he didn't, with the one where Gianni meets Luciana being perhaps the most poignant and well done.The director always has to be careful with moments like that one, and here Scola showed his sense of good taste.
The scene at the junk yard was also done very well in my view, and that whole "If you were not important while alive, why do you expect to be when you are dead..." line was extremely interesting and well done - shedding suddenly more black light at the character.
We saw this film when it first came out, and this time brought back many memories, and if it dated at all it was just a very small amount, certainly not enough to push it into oblivion.
Perhaps re-viewing the La Famiglia on the coattails of this one would seem appropriate. With so much acting talent that one is also one of my all-time favorite "Italian flavor" films.

Have either of you heard any buzz on Ray, the Ray Charles bio-pic? How about Be Cool, the sequel to Get Shorty with John Travolta reprising his Chili Palmer role? Or Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice starring Al Pacino as Shylock?Lots of interesting film stuff coming out without all the foo-foo grey poupon french dressing.
BTW, this one should really kick some butt (coming next spring to a theater near you)...
We know of your love of critising films that are not still out....
