Viva Italia!
Comedy115 min
Returning to the satirical world of I mostri, Viva Italia! strings together comic sketches about public manners, private vanity, and the small absurdities of modern Italian life. Ugo Tognazzi and Vittorio Gassman recur across the film’s shifting lineup, with each vignette introducing a new situation rather than building a single plot. The tone stays rooted in commedia all’italiana, moving from domestic farce to sharper social caricature as it jumps between separate stories. Released in Italy in 1977, it works as a broad ensemble portrait, less about one hero than about the habits and hypocrisies the film keeps putting under a microscope.
