Specialist Notes
Original edition. Released on the occasion of the premiere of the film. Exemplary with the red stripe and the imprinted title «Who works is lost», wanted by the censor, superimposed on the original one «Who works is cursed». & Nbsp; Text: "Moris Ergas presents: Who works is lost. "World can / world executioner / if crepa de fam / if crepa de boredom // World executioner / world can / what a hernia / for a toco de pan". & nbsp; In the film, which constitutes the directorial debut of Tinto Brass, Bonifacio, rampant cartoonist fresh from high school, is about to join a big industry but the job bores him incredibly. The hopeless young man rebels against the system that should incorporate him, wandering aimlessly around Venice. The censors proposed that he redo that film from scratch, but Brass preferred to accept the cuts and the change of the title, which was not "Who works is lost" or "At the end of the world" as it was written, but "Who works is cursed. "This title is in fact printed on the original poster and covered by the title" Who works is lost " wanted by the censors, printed on a strip of red paper and pasted at the time of the posting. With only the change of title, the film was able to come out in its full version. Due to its anarchist position, the film became one of the most emblematic and significant works of the 1968 announcement.
