Thus Spoke Bellavista

Why do a group of Neapolitan neighbors gather every day in a luxurious apartment to listen to a retired man talk about Ancient Greece? Luciano De Crescenzo directs and stars as Professor Bellavista, whose lessons dazzle his friends until a director arrives from Milan, strict and punctual, to disturb the building's quiet life. Naples lives by pleasure and delay, Milan by the clock, and the film sets the two ways of living side by side.
