Personally I sat through the entire film and thought "if when I get home I don't learn from google that this film is based on some deep mythology and history about Napoli which I don't understand, then it is a total joke." Ridiculous moment after moment, zero plot… My wife and I walked out after the film and were both just frustrated.

When I got home and googled the director I was not surprised to learn that two of the last things he directed were advertisements for Bulgari and Hennessy cognac! Sorry to be so brutally honest, but this one is a must miss!
