Not many people will truly understand the essence of this film and get all (and I can assure there are lots) the subtleties depicted here. After probably more than 33 years of first watching this true gem, I still enjoy, laugh, get fairly emotional, repeat dialogs, etc. Great opportunity to get to know my culture (take it ir leave it), in a quite stereotypical way, with lots of italian and spanish ancestry manners embedded. Funny script, nice locations but SUPERB acting, and as far as I can remember there's never been a film from my country with so many and intense performances as in ELC.10/10.
