Tu me troubles

Hi, this movie is not well known even in italy. The bank section is really hilarious, and it's almost impossible to translate because teh doule meanings. Howvere this movie is quite misterious as I cannot get the red line behind the stories which are mostly connected about the topic about the existance of god.This is why I a serching a quick explaination. It's 7 beacuse sometimes get boring!

This is an early Benigni showing his great comedy potential. There are four stories, connected only by the main actor. The first is also the funniest, with Benigni as a clumsy shepherd babysitting little Jesus Christ for a night. Full of blasphemous moments, and still quite innocent, the story offers an alternative origin of many moments from the later life of Jesus. The second one is an allegory of married life, with a few twists. Also very amusing. The third one may be the weakest, about a man getting a loan from the bank. However, it seems to me that quite a few jokes were lost in translation; I only managed to decipher a few. The last story is about two watchmen guarding the eternal flame beside Altare della Patria. Benigni is bored and bothers his mate with childish and silly jokes, bothering all of us in the way... To recapitulate, it is a funny little film, and Benigni fans won't be dissapointed.

This film is the first directed by Benigni, who also signs the script, half with Giuseppe Bertolucci, and also takes on the lead role.

It is a shy but fun first work. There are four autonomous episodes, which could be four independent short films, as was the fashion for some time.

In the first Benigni plays with the mythical Jesus, albeit innocently, considering that Italy is the Pope's country. In the second falls in love with an angel. In the third he makes a scathing, but somewhat burlesque, critique of the banking system. Finally, on the fourth stage he plays himself, guarding the flame of the unknown soldier.

It is the comedian who demonstrates his potential, also as an author, although still in a short format. It anticipates the bigger flights to follow.
