1. A little forgotten masterpiece. This surreal comedy is one of those rare examples where the tragic and the hilarious are inseparable. Three homeless chaps from Rome spend their time scavenging rubbish or cheating local restaurants in order to secure their daily food. They accidentally end up in the Italian countryside where they get involved in a series of paradoxical situations, suffer delusions from extreme lack of nutrition while encountering bizarre people from every social stratum along the way. Despite the hilarious moments, there is understated pessimism and subtle misanthropy through out, the poor are barbaric and illiterate scum eager to kill you for a plate of soup, the rich are exploitative cruel bastards, the ‘saviour’ of the people is a deranged messiah-like figure in serum who leads them into a futile excursion up a mountain top. Great performance as usual by R.Benigni and nice score from N.Piovani. (orso-antinome from tumblr)Read More »
