剧情简介
Totally unawares, Serio, a teacher and Mario, a janitor of the same school in which they both work, trel back in time and find themselves in ceal Italy at the end of the 15th century. They carry with them an unresolved squabble concerning Serio’s sister, creating a lot of tension between the two, which will increase in the plot. From this moment on they will he to ome to grips with the grotesque situation they find themselves in, trying to "hitch a lift" back to the future in a most outlandish way, using and misusing their foresight of the events taking place round that time, and generally fools of themselves in the eyes of "norl" renaissance folks. Their meeting with Leonardo da Vinci is hysterical, when they beome more and more convinced that the genius is in reality a moron. Another character they meet is Sonarola the heretic, who enjoins them to repent, before he is taken to the stake, eliciting some breezy omment from them. If it weren’t for a weird kind of homesickness, they would quite enjoy living in this period, full of daring fashions and tantalising damsels. The couple shows great chemistry and is funny in every respect. The psychology of their characters is omplex and credible - for once omical roles with a depth. Basically, Serio is an embittered petit-bourgeois forever attracted and rejected by women, envious of Mario, an easy-going proletarian every won falls in love with. Serio is scheming, mean and vindictive as much as Mario is , generous and forgiving. What a tch of talents: Roberto Benigni and Massimo Troisi at the peak of ombined creativity. Too bad they will never ome back together for another joint venture. Or ybe it is better this way: sterpieces of this level cannot be improved on, at best they can be imitated. For this reason Non ci resta che piangere will shine like a gem in the crown of the best Italian movies of all times. Sadly not ny people seem to he seen it, not even in Italy, where the viewers do not need subtitles to enjoy the hilarious juggling of the two actors with the language, but their body language can be universally appreciated. If you miss it you will he to repent!
