Basel. A month-long tribute to Mario Monicelli in Switzerland until January 30. An initiative launched by the Italian Cultural Institute of Zurich where 12 of Monicelli’s best films will be screened for the first time with German subtitles at Stadkino, Basel. Among some of his greatest films are: “I soliti ignoti” (1958) (The Big Deal on Madonna Street), “Un Borghese piccolo piccolo” (1977) (An Average Little Man), and “L’armata Brancaleone” (1966) (For Love and Gold), “Totò cerca casa” (1949) (Totò Looks for a House), “La Grande Guerra” (1959) (The Great War), “Risate di gioia” (1960), “I compagni” (1963) (The Organiser), “La ragazza con la pistola”(1968) (The Girl with the Pistol), “Vogliamo i colonnelli “(1973) (We Want the Colonels), “Amici miei”(1975) (My Friends),” Speriamo che sia femmina ” (1986) (Let’s Hope It’s a Girl), and “Il male oscuro” (1990) (Dark Illness). It is therefore an unmissable show and opportunity to commemorate a great Italian artist. (9Colonne)
