This combined with unnecessary purchases by his parents end up burying the family in debt. desperate to reclaim stability, he is lured into a mafia that masquerades as a legitimate racing agency. Here, he confronts a world rife with toxic masculinity and oppressive hierarchies, mirroring the extremist fascism of the era, in wich freedom is only for male hegemony. It has a style unseen in the most known man centered crime movies in this case Pipazzio always had this risk clear, but because of being out of tune with the attitudes of the average mobster, he ends up being seen as an enemy to the rest and a constant threat to his most loved ones, wich choose symbolic affairs over a conceited glorified life, making pipazzio feel his expression as a man only encapsulated him more . In terms of direction this movie doesn't invent nothing new, but uses the elements stablished by previous films in the most complete and sublime way possible creating a satyrical and predictable tension and mystery.
