Today on the air (on Rai Movie at 9 am) “Fantozzi suffers still”, a film directed in 1983 by Neri Parenti and the fourth chapter of the saga dedicated to the clumsy and servile accountant played by Paolo Villaggio. Years pass and Ugo Fantozzi remains the favorite victim of colleagues and neighbors, at work and on vacation. It does not go better with his eternal flirtation, Miss Silvana (Anna Mazzamauro), who continues to exploit and humiliate him. But Ugo’s life turned upside down when he discovers that his daughter Mariangela (Plinio Fernando) got pregnant: the father of the child Loris Batacchi (Andrea Roncato), colleague of Mariangela at the Post Office, a depraved and very vulgar character who was with her to win a bet. There is no lack of harassment from superiors: the accountant Fonelli appointed Mega Natural Director and forcing employees to unlikely company Olympic games. “Fantozzi still suffers” proposes the new misadventures of the accountant Ugo, more and more grotesque and paradoxical. There is no longer the sharp cynicism of the first episodes, some jokes appear obvious and at times vulgar, but the Village mask still manages to capture the essence of the average Italian and his dream of a petty bourgeois life without any ideal thrust. Waiting for the broadcast, here are 10 things you may not know.
