The Left - The home of the young people of the Left has the pleasure to invite you to the second round of the exhibition dedicated to the memory of the maestro Mario Monicelli.
"L'Armata Brancaleone" is one of the greatest cult movie of the Italian cinema of the 60s.
The film, directed with many difficulties in 1966 by Monicelli (which four years later he built a following, "Brancaleone at the Crusades") and starring the "star performer" Vittorio Gas ... sman, told a medieval poor, rough, theater companies scalcinatissima a company of thugs led by the penniless Brancaleone da Norcia, knight so bold as to humble origins, as so arrogant blowhard and intellect until recently. Important thing to note is that this film was the first "costume play" in the history of our cinema and, in the words of film critic Morandini, "although it is a classic Italian comedy're pushing the limits with a cultural operation that included authors as Italo Calvino or Kurosawa, a reinterpretation of history in key national-popular and very tastefully anarchist. "
When it was released in theaters, "Brancaleone's Army" was greeted by a resounding public success (3 ° Built in 1966-67), a measurable success not only in terms of collection, but also for the influence it had among young people, who enthusiastically embraced the words of the medieval-maccheronico funny language spoken by the protagonists, the film still survives something in common parlance, such as defining "Armata Brancaleone" a group of scoundrels and poor. One title has become proverbial that speaks volumes about the success, economic and cultural, of the film.
