a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

This is a very low budget b movie, but adaptation of Arthur Schnitzler's Traumnovelle is real interesting, The better thing is the location choose: Venice! The atmosphere of this unique city adds mystery to the entire story, especially the night vision of it. Bianchi changes a lot of things from the original Schnitzler's version. The final part is more darker and scariest than Eyes wide shut. There are also more comedy parts; there is the actor Franco Caracciolo, a well known gay actor who made a lot of sexy Italian comedies of 70's and 80's. The funniest part is that Bianchi (well known Italian porn director) shoot an orgy scene softer than Kubrick's orgy scene. No nudity in that!!!

This is an interesting adaptation of Arthur Schnitzler's Traumnovelle, that inspired the well known Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut too. I never saw the entire film, but it used to be broadcasted on Telecapri (an Italian regional TV station) years ago. Knowing Stanley Kubrick's meticulosity in making films, I'm sure he knew this Italian version of Traumnovelle and, for all I can remember of "Ad un passo dall'aurora", the piano music score was quite similar to the one he chose in Eyes Wide Shut. The film's set in Venice: the atmosphere of this unique city adds a lot of thrilling to the story. The fun part (for me) was seeing Gerardo Amato starring in this adventure, 'cause in my memory he'll always belong to the role of Mario Merola's son in Zappatore!Hey, I'm still waiting for the next TV passage of this nice flick!Dario -

can a director of porn movies direct a transposition of an arthur schnitzler's book? yes! 11 years before kubrick made his *eyes wide shut*, mario bianchi directed this movie based on the same book by schintzler, a movie that probably nobody has seen. I didn't see it, too, but if you have the opportunity, don't miss it! and tom cruise? and nicole kidman? well, neither of them act in this movie, but what difference does it make?
