The Monsters (1963)
8/10
Twenty of the Latin tragicomic, corrosive and bawdy short tales!!!
26 May 2020
The Italy is the birthplace of the Latinity that means spirituous people, that's the truth, then starting this point stays clear how they faces their lives, in this tragicomic twenty segments, both leading actors Ugo Tognazzi and Vittorio Gazzman scattered the Italian way black humor with surrealism, masterfully directed by Dino Risi, always anchored by cultural cynicism on Italian society, draw my attention one specific episode when a poor man (Gassman) arrives at slum's house surround by eight sons with medical problems and his pregnant wife asking for him buying some medicines, suddenly he appears at a crowd Roma's stadium almost insane when his team score a goal, priceless moments, reminds me in same place with Corinthians here in Brazil, let's forget aches and pains and have fun, other episode that worth to remember is about the young blind man and the alms's collector (Vittorio Gassman) at church's staircase, when a doctor offers to them a possible cure of blindness of the poor blind man, the blackmailer collector decides moves on to another Church, even mocking of the holiness of clerge, corrosive, bawdy, insane and unique!!!
