A Magic Mirror

A jerk husband Sandro and his young wife Giulia have moved into a new apartment. She is unpacking, and he his lounging in the bath. When his brother Walter comes over to deliver a new wall mirror. The brother makes a pass at the young wife, as he has secretly wanted to do for years.

Directed by Stefano Soli, A Magic Mirror leans on a strong ensemble — Tinto Brass, Loredana Cannata, Rolando Ravello — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1999.
