The New Monsters

The ultimate Italian omnibus film, with no fewer than 20 episodes depicting, as director Dino Risi put it, "a distrust in humanity" resulting from the Italian economic boom of the late 1950s. Ugo Tognazzi and Vittorio Gassman interpret a variety of human monsters, from princes to prizefighters, in brief, satirical sketches that spare no one, including the viewer.
