Italian drama set in the 1950' and 60's, where homosexuality and lgbtq+ rights and the common condemnation and despite towards those individuals, and if you love the italian language and sole, spiced with a very nice acting cast, with superb filmatographic visuals, then go for ''the lord of the ants''.

Allthough its somehow a bit chewn out intellectual and verbalistic to the tip of a finger, it tells the story about the man who just wants to teach his students everything that worth to know into perfection, girls as well as boys, its just that he treads the green green grass of the common law of decent behaviour, the burlesque and the sodomistic ones.

Its shows how gay people were treated in gods name and in the name of the law, flusheb down the loo of the sanatorial realms of psychoteraphy, because the the signs where all there, even though ...

i just have two comments that draws down my review marks, its very slow paced and the playtime is an overburden that may stop people from watching the whole sacrament. But its a decent product in many aspects of filmaking, therefore a recommend from the grumpy old man.
