Oh, sweet mother ... it's an intentional cult film from director Corrado Guzzanti, it's screening as part of the market in Cannes, and it looks positively glorious.

Holy shit. Many years ago I wrote a script called Nazi Aliens from Mars, about Hitler teaming up with aliens and crash landing on his way back in Iceland. It was up to a simple sheep herder to stop them and get his girl back. Stellar stuff if I say so myself.

Never made it though.

Just on a side note, this was one of the last satyrical pieces that Guzzanti was allowed to air on TV before Berlusconi rose to power and banned all the people he considered dangerous to his iron-fisted leadership...

Along with Corrado, also his sister Sabina was banned for criticizing the former premier...

Thanks to the overwhelming success he gained, becoming an underground cult, mocking the way of Berlusconi and his former-fascist allies, Corrado then decided to make it a full feature film, creating more sequence for this movie done with lots of his sketches put together...

The first part is more or less what he originally aired and his more fresh and interesting, while the second was less inspired and more close to a filler than to a decent second part...
