The movie will be introduced by Vincenzo Mattei and presented with English subtitles.
"Amici miei" (Italian for "My Friends") is considered by many the masterpiece of Mario Monicelli. The film was followed by two sequels, and is an interesting excerpt from popular Italian culture of the seventies. It tells the story of four men in their fifties: forgetful of their families they spend their time organizing ingenious jokes, in a mixture of childish and adult behaviour. Amici Miei portrays their life with humor, but is also a reflection on freedom, society and life as a whole.
