Monicelli: The elements of Italian comedy

Senza questi elementi, fame, morte, malattia e miseria noi non potremmo far ridere in Italia.

Mario Monicelli

REVIEWS

Yuri Esposito – Venice 70 Biennale College

This is the kind of comedy film that you should await from an emerging and innovative new director like Alessio Fava.

Interruption – Venice 72 Orizzonti

With his directorial debut, Yorgos Zois breaks the fourth wall as he is experimenting on how myth and art interrupt actual life. Or is it the other way around?

Suntan – Jerusalem 33

Argyris Papadimitropoulos’ third feature film is a bleak and bittersweet cul-de-sac set under the glaring Aegean sun.

A Blast – Sarajevo 20

Syllas Tzoumerkas' sophomore feature is a powerful sociopolitical drama that juxtaposes the cynicism of the troubled Greek society while the middle-class decays internally.

Il Passaggio della Linea (2007)

The debut documentary film of the Italian director Pietro Marcello is a nocturnal train journey collage through the Italian landscape.
