Kind of a science-fiction film in the sense that there are these familiar B-movie-looking aliens landing in 21st-century Italy, though in the same way that the sci-fi flicks of the 1950s were metaphors for Cold War angst, these low-budget alien invaders are mostly just an excuse for exploring the bleak landscape of the European economic collapse as seen through the existential crisis-clouded eyes of a sad, lonely, misogynist. And, of course, it’s an Italian film, so it wouldn’t be complete without a cast of trannies, elderly hookers, dead cats, and other Felliniesque characters. GOLDY
