The quality of Italian comedy

The last course of this semester is the study of comedy in Italy from the 1930s to the 1950s.
In class yesterday, the teacher played a 58-year-old movie called "The Unknown Man".
It is sold on the market called "Manhattan's Big Shot".

It's pretty good, it's perfect!
This is another standard film in my mind to provide a "good film".

What are you talking about?
Speaking of the Roman suburbs after the war, a few thieves, hooligans and boxers
tried their...

The big shots on Notre Dame Street

The works of Italian comedy master Mario Monicelli. Nominated for the 31st Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. To a certain extent, the film can be called the originator of the "stupid thief movie". What is different from many such movies later is the final ending of the dumb thieves. It is a classic that can't be surpassed by opening the wall and digging a hole and finally looting the food in other people's kitchens. The film's unique simplicity in the 1950s is full of lightness and joy...

Director interview

(Translation)

In 1999, the famous Italian director Mario Monizelli attended the Montreal World Film Festival in Canada as a member of the jury. My interview with Mr. Monizelli, in addition to some Italian comedy styles, mainly focused on the director's most important work "Manhattan" 1958, which has produced a huge international reputation. The interview is in Italian and translated into English by the author himself.

Absurd life

Nameless people, absurd plots, black humor, realistic metaphors. I laughed a lot when I watched it, but after the hustle and bustle, I thought quietly, and more and more tangled emotions would come to my heart. Life is always full of impermanence, and we always encounter what the'robbers' meet, and the plan will never keep up with the changes. Capanella, who likes "Always Hungry" the most, is full of dramatic effects when he comes out. His big eye-catching nose and sloppy sports coat are...

Bitter humor

This film is older and older, Italian film, and black and white. The shooting technique is relatively simple, but the use of light and shadow is extremely harmonious. Looking at the light and shadow in the film on the face of the actor, there is a feeling that the present is not as good as before.
　　
　　The translation of the Chinese name of the film is not very authentic. I don't know which old man's work is, it is easy to create comedy stories that happened in the upper class of the...

In fact, I don't think it's very funny, but after the professor explained it, I think it's very valuable that this comedy film can demand itself in the style of an art film-a lot of things have been...

It tells the story of four 255 plans to steal safes. Although today, we have been nourished by commercial theft films, this film has a single clue, but the comedy elements in it are all ancestor-level performances. Modern films continue to continue....
