Ce film qui a connu un grand succès à sa sortie en Italie se présente plus comme une suite de sketches burlesques (et quasiment sans dialogues) autour du personnage interprété par Nichetti. C'est drôle, parfois satirique, et le ton est original. Originalité qu'on retrouvera d'ailleurs dans les films de Nichetti diffusés en France : l'Amour avec des gants et le Voleur de savonnettes. Depuis, plus grand chose (du moins en France), dommage...

The movie begins with an egotistical film director, played by director Maurizo Nichetti himself, discussing his latest film on an intellectual Italian TV channel which is about to broadcast it at short notice in place of a more highly regarded competitor’s. His "masterpiece" follows the bleak travails of a poverty-stricken unemployed man (again played by Nichetti) who finds work in a chandelier factory, but cannot resist stealing one of the gleaming lights for his wife. The pompous director is initially pleased with the seriousness with which his work is analysed, but he then becomes distraught when his black-and-white opus is repeatedly interrupted by full-colour commercials. The TV audience, watching in their homes, are completely oblivious of the interruptions and the "outrages" perpetrated on the director’s artistic intentions.
