Quote:
The movie depicts some episodes of the life of a noble in the Rome of the early XIX century. Loosely based on folklore accounts about the real Onofrio del Grillo (who actually lived in the XVIII century), this character plays a number of pranks, one even involving Pope Pius VII. The movie won two David di Donatello, four Nastri d’Argento in 1982 and a Silver Bear as Best Director at the Berlin International Film Festival, still in 1982.

Boccaccio ’70 is a four-part anthology film inspired by Giovanni Boccaccio’s collection of bawdy, limerick-laden farces, The Decameron. The Italian-American brainchild of producers Carlo Ponti and Joseph E. Levine, the film pulls together contributions from four major Italian directors: Mario Monicelli (Big Deal on Madonna Street), Federico Fellini (8½), Vittorio De Sica (Umberto D.), and Luchino Visconti (The Leopard).

Italy 1973. Giuseppe Tritoni (Ugo Tognazzi) is an ultra-right-wing congressman that doesn’t agree anymore with his fascist party policy. He contacts many Italian Army officers and built a net of relationship in order to organize a Coup d’Etat (Golpe). Something goes wrong and the Interior Minister (Home Secretary) Mr. Li Masi (Lino Pugliesi) got the all information about the attempted Golpe. So the Minister organizes a counter-Golpe.

Quote:
This is a very sharp political satire about mid-1970s Italy. It’s from that period of Italian film in which, alongside the overtly political filmmaking (mostly made famous by committed auteurs such as Petri, Rosi, Bellocchio, etc.), films belonging to old and new genres (commedia all’italiana, spaghetti western, poliziottesco) start being affected by the tragic and unique socio-political situation the country is in, and acquire a political dimension. Traditionally escapist cinema increasingly starts including overtones of a political nature, with open or hidden references to actual events. This is the case with “Vogliamo I Colonnelli”, which deals with not one but two attempted coups d’etat that were actually planned in Italy between 1964 and 1970 and almost put into being, but failed for reasons that are still not entirely clear. Monicelli of course interprets the events in pure “commedia all’italiana” style, mocking the entire Italian army and its senile top echelons, and once again exposing the opportunism and amateurishness of the Italian character. A spaghetti-golpe, in which the unprofessionalism of the conjurers is the main object of derision and contempt. Tognazzi is having a ball, and as usual steals the show… The title is an obvious reference to the military coup that took place in Greece in 1967, after which the country was ruled by the so-called “Colonels Junta” for a total of 7 years.

The post Mario Monicelli – Vogliamo i colonnelli AKA We Want the Colonels! (1973) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Mastroianni plays Major Andrea Rossi-Colombotti, an Italian officer on secondment to NATO, and the film follows his picaresque and increasingly desperate attempts to triumph over his idiosyncratic libido that renders him impotent with women unless his life is in danger. Adventures which lead him from Paris to the Swiss Alps, and along the length of Italy, from the cage of a lion tamer, to posing as doctor to verify the virginity, for which read seducing, of a Sicilian bride to be, with her family just the other side of the door, to climbing into ever higher bedroom windows, culminating in his being tried for the murder of the jealous husband of one of his potential conquests. Conquests who all gather in the court and who are played by a fabulous line-up of Italian actresses including Virna Lisi, Marisa Mell, Michèle Mercier, and Liana Orfei.

Quote:
The Four Queenly Virtues are Constancy, Fidelity, Chastity and Honor.

Four unrelated short comedies by four different directors. “Queen Sabina”chronicles the sexual misadventures of a teenage girl on the road home. “Queen Armenia” centers on a self-serving opportunistic gypsy babysitter who uses her employer’s kids for her own gain. The third episode, “Queen Elena” centers on a husband who learns a lesson about the perils of infidelity after he succumbs to the wiles of the seductive wife next door. The last vignette, “Queen Marta” centers on a wealthy woman who, when drunk, uses her butler as an outlet for her lust.
