''Long Live the Lady!'' is a contemporary comedy-allegory that reveals itself in the manner of a fairy tale set in an enchanted castle. The ''castle'' is, in fact, a splendid Alpine hotel. Its princes, princesses, magicians and court jesters are members of an international conglomerate who have come together to talk business and pay their respects to the conglomerate's aloof, very old and all-powerful chief executive officer, the ''lady'' of the title.
IMDB - 3 wins
Made by the great director of TREE OF WOODEN CLOGS, IL POSTO , and CAMMINA CAMMINA, this movie is a contemporary comedy-allegory set mostly in an "enchanted" castle. The central character is Libenzio, a naive young apprentice waiter. Along with a group of other young people he is brought to the castle to assist in serving a gargantuan dinner of esoteric food. It is a gastronomic variation on the sado/sexual story of Pasolini's SALO'. The dinner is put on to honor a decrepit old woman who heads some mysterious multi-national conglomerate. It is part of an annual ritual attended by a crypto-Wagnerian elite. The jaded character of the guests is meant to contrast with the purer natures of the peasant youth who serve the meal. This is a strange and intriguing work which combines gothic black comedy with some lyrical counterpoint.
