CINECuriel 2019: 'FANTOZZI' by Luciano Salce





Friday, the 8th March, Multimedia space, 1st Floor

This is the first episode of the legendary saga "The adventures of Fantozzi", which has now become a true cult-movie of Italian cinema. Fantozzi is the symbol of a dissatisfied and losing humanity, always destined to be the innocent victim of the other people's arrogance.

FANTOZZI by Luciano Salce with Paolo Villaggio, Gigi Reder, Anna Mazzamauro / 1975/108 min. / IT

The accountant Ugo Fantozzi, a modest employee in a large company, leads an existence of constant frustration. Domestic squalor is added to the suffocating and monotonous office life. When he returns home, he has to deal with a sloppy wife and a daughter of monstrous ugliness. An endless series of misadventures persecutes the poor Fantozzi who demonstrates not only an exaggerated misfortune but also a natural predisposition to submission, which touches self-harm.

Dr. Roberta Alberotanza introduces the film.
