IL Mostro: funny Italian comedy...

The Monster.

I found a couple of posts in the archives about this lighthearted comedy featuring Roberto Benigni, Michel Blanc and pretty hot looking Nicoletta Braschi. My buddy lent it to me a month back and I watched it last night.

This '96 comedy centers around a serial murderer/sex fiend running loose in a big metropolitan city (Rome?) and a potential suspect who is an out of work professional, a scammer and who is presently down on his luck and being evicted. The police want to catch him red-handed, so they send in a lovely looking police officer named Jessica to be his roommate and turn him on to the point of attack. The rest is pretty funny.

If I found it used, I'd probably buy it for the library, but it is worth buying new, if you haven't already seen it. I liken it to the French film I saw at the Miami Film Festival a few years back called The Dinner Game (I think that's what it was called.)


Take care, Chris
