Olmi’s charming comedy about an old lady’s anniverasry dinner seen through the eyes o fa 16-year-old boy (Esposito) who’s a trainee waiter. Olmi watches fascinated by the militaristic preparations for the meal, the rich and powerful congregating, and the post-prandial relaxtion. Symbolism is in the air: the tottering old lady can be seen as Italy and the banquet represents the end of childhood for the boy.
