Anyone making a spoiler-free case for Il Sorpasso? The poster has done its part, now I need the pitch.

Eimear, fair point. There is room for something a bit different in the next six.

Il Sorpasso is one I am weighing up. Would love to hear a different take too. The interesting picks are often the ones people split on.

Ronan, a film-club style conversation afterwards could be good, even when people disagree.

For anyone considering Il Sorpasso: The description has me curious. I would rather know the mood than the whole plot.
