film - una tragicommedia all'italianaFantozziby Luciano Salce

MAXXI auditorium
free admission, subject to availability
year of production: 1975
running time: 108’

Fantozzi embodies workplace alienation and middle-class mediocrity, becoming a figure who makes people laugh through the tragic nature of his misfortunes.

Una tragicommedia all’italiana (An Italian-style tragicomedy), curated by Davide Oberto, is a programme that explores how Italian cinema has transformed social tensions and bourgeois vacuity into comedy – often tragic and ironic – oscillating between biting satire, social criticism and the grotesque.
