Amici miei (1975)
8/10
The odd Quintet, maybe allowed for Latin people !!!
21 June 2019
Maybe I've can be wrong in my early understanding and theory over this kind of comedy, it works just for Latin people only, more spirituous, mostly of the people from Germanic's ethnicities as Anglo-Saxon and Nordics, although they are happy, in same time they are too retrained, serious shall we say, so starting this point of view, this weird behavior don't fit to them as to us, now speaking about this picture, just to face our lives we need some kind of humor, this quintet needs a lot, a fabulous and inventive picture of the daily life to forget their own aches and pains, Ugo Tognazzi is bankrupt's Count, proud don't accept any help, Noiret is an lonely and eccentric journalist who works at night, Gaston Moschin is bad temper architect, Del Petrie is bored Bar's owner and Adolfo Celi is a Surgeon, all sort of craziest things were made by them, just for fun, Pietro Germi wrote the story's concept and Monicelli directed due Germi was dead, actually l was hoping for something more stylish, but forget for a moment that's about a Italian comedy, some situation are coarse as in the Railway Station, another when Celi delivery all family is priceless on upcoming events, I hear about it but never got a chance to see it on TV, now so tardily I've it forever on my own DVD!!!
