[A] snappy Italian satire, somewhat reminiscent of Billy Wilder's The Apartment.

Imagine Buster Keaton crossed with David Lynch, with a bit of Billy Wilder satire tossed into the mix, and you'll have a rough idea of the wild and crazy tightrope 1963's absurdist "Il Boom" manages to walk.

Vibrant, funny, and disturbing.
