Description: In this 12-episode anthology directed by the renowned Dino Risi, the versatile Monica Vitti takes center stage, showcasing her impeccable comedic skills. Each episode introduces us to a different character, all played by Vitti, ranging from a diligent stewardess to a daring motorcycle stunt rider. Her transformative performances are complemented by well-known actors Enrico Maria Salerno and Carlo Giuffre, among others.
Highlight episodes include “Mamma”, where Vitti brilliantly portrays a working-class mother of 22, trying to justify her large family size to an inquisitive reporter. Et Dominus venit”, penned by the talented Ettore Scola, casts Vitti as a nun whose lively song performance causes discomfort among the clergy watching her. Lastly, in “L’allumeuse”, Vitti shines as a sophisticated woman dining at a posh restaurant, but her actions lead to a comedic series of misunderstandings among the male onlookers.
This anthology masterfully blends humor and social commentary, allowing Vitti to demonstrate her wide-ranging acting prowess. Whether you’re laughing out loud or pondering societal norms, the series offers a delightful mix of entertainment and introspection.
