From Imdb: One of the more mature Bavarian sex-comedies, with a good story-line and no highly unlikely events (except one at the end, perhaps). Also one of the Bavarian sex-comedies with explicit sex scenes in it, more than in others. Aunt Agathe, a middle-aged single woman, arrives in a Bavarian village to help her niece Sissi with her horse riding school, which she inherited from her parents. It’s almost bankrupt and rich Aunty is willing to help in her own dominant way. The employees don’t like her and Aunty herself, together with her parrot, is not familiar to the horse business: she is upset when a stallion is doing his job with a mare.Read More »

From New York Times:
Four different comedy vignettes highlight the particular, idiosyncratic viewpoint of Roberto Benigni, a television comedian who originally wrote these four segments with Giuseppe Bertolucci for home TV. In the first sketch, the year is 5 A.D. and Benigni has to baby-sit for his old girlfriend Mary so she and her husband Joseph can have a night out. As Benigni is giving their child Jesus a bath, he muses philosophically about the nature of God and without a word, the little boy stands up on the bath water and leaves the outlines of his face on the bath towel. In the next segment, Benigni is in a quandary because his guardian angel, disillusioned with their relationship, has fallen in love with God and left him. Read More »
