What's the film about?
Based on a novel by Ennio Flaiano, Melampus, loosely inspired on a character from Pinocchio. An artist has withdrawn to a desert island, where he lives alone with his dog. One day, a woman arrives and tries to replace the dog. Kind of continuation of Dilliger Is Dead, this surrealistic fable explores the sexual revolution's effects, but also "the false myth of the intellectual's return to nature" (Ferreri). The disc contains the Italian track only, because the French cut (entitled Liza) features some minor variants.
