Barbarian Buffoonery in Milan ?

Attila flagello di Dio epitomizes the particular strain of Italian comedy that emerged in the early 1980s, characterized by broad physical humor, anachronistic sight gags, and Diego Abatantuono's manic energy unleashed upon unsuspecting audiences. This historical parody, while undeniably entertaining for devotees of demential Italian cinema, suffers from the very excess that defines its cult appeal. The film's premise of transplanting barbarian warfare into contemporary Lombardy provides ample opportunity for comedic mayhem, yet the execution rarely transcends its own silly ambitions to achieve anything approaching satirical depth.The directing duo demonstrates their usual competence in orchestrating elaborate comic set pieces, though their approach remains frustratingly scattershot. Individual sequences sparkle with inventive visual humor, particularly those involving the clash between ancient warrior customs and modern Italian life, but these moments feel isolated rather than building toward a cohesive comedic vision. The cinematography captures the frenetic action adequately without ever developing a distinctive visual style that might elevate the material beyond its televisual origins. The production design embraces the absurdist premise wholeheartedly, creating a convincingly ramshackle world where barbarian logic collides with bureaucratic reality.Abatantuono delivers exactly the type of performance his fans expect, channeling his considerable charismatic presence into a role that demands maximum commitment to increasingly ridiculous situations. His portrayal of the delusional Attila balances genuine pathos with outrageous comedy, suggesting depths that the script rarely bothers to explore. Rita Rusic provides capable support as the romantic interest, though her character exists primarily to react to the masculine chaos surrounding her. Angelo Infanti brings professional competence to his supporting role, lending dramatic weight to proceedings that threaten to float away on their own absurdist winds.The film's greatest weakness lies in its inability to sustain momentum across its running time. While individual scenes generate genuine laughter, the overall structure feels episodic rather than building toward meaningful resolution. The humor relies heavily on repetitive sight gags and cultural stereotypes that, while occasionally inspired, too often substitute volume for wit. The script's attempts to inject social commentary into its historical parody feel perfunctory, lacking the sustained satirical vision necessary to transform cultural observation into meaningful critique.Despite these limitations, the film succeeds in creating an atmosphere of cheerful anarchy that proves infectious for audiences willing to embrace its deliberately lowbrow sensibilities. The musical score by Franz Di Cioccio and Franco Mussida provides energetic support for the visual comedy while avoiding the intrusive orchestration that mars many contemporary efforts. The supporting cast attacks their roles with appropriate enthusiasm, creating a sense of ensemble commitment that helps sell even the most preposterous comedic conceits.

A weird journey to Rome

A funny farcical comedy that tells the descent of a barbarian warrior from northern Italy to the south to plunder Rome. He will not succeed but on the way he will have a thousand adventures, one more absurd than the previous one.
