I can't blame anyone if they hated it. If you read the synopsis, it doesn't sound just weird/strange, but even perverse. This doesn't play like that, though, i mean this is almost a bittersweet comedy/drama about a middle-aged man and his midlife crisis (Or should i say, his escape from a miserable life?). Mastroianni is great and charismatic as ever. And Kinski is, let's say, beautiful. It is a fun ride, i was enjoying a lot Mastroianni's "struggles". At its core, as i said, this is a comedy/drama/romance. No way this movie could be made nowdays and i am fine with this, but i am glad i watched it. Nothing too fancy, not a MUST WATCH. Just a good movie if you don't take it too seriously.
