Our last one was Fantasia, and 25 00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:41.879 this one from director Bruno Bozetto could be seen as 26 00:02:41.919 --> 00:02:46.199 a direct response, a spoof the satire to that film 27 00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:49.560 from nineteen seventy six. We are discussing the cult classic 28 00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:51.400 Allegro non Tropo. 29 00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:58.240 Where are they all going into another world? Fantastic triple 30 00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:00.960 I will be filled with color. Laughter comes in all 31 00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:13.800 shapes and size too. With sociated music, expect the unexpected 32 00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:16.439 Legro non great Peachi. 33 00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:20.919 A Legro non Tropo released in March twelfth and nineteen 34 00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:24.400 seventy six. Not the first time I saw it? Was 35 00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:25.599 this the first time you saw it? 36 00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:26.360 Yeah? 37 00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:30.439 This was the very first time I've seen this picture, 38 00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:32.360 and I just watched it this afternoon. 39 00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:33.639 It was something else. 40 00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:35.919 Did you have HBO when you were a kid? 41 00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:36.759 I did? 42 00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:38.319 Was it on it a lot? 43 00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:43.479 No? However, if you remember, HBO was always sent by 44 00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:46.800 the hour, sometimes the half hour, but if they were 45 00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:48.960 starting a movie, it generally was on the hour. 46 00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:51.599 That's right. It would give you like twenty minutes of 47 00:03:51.719 --> 00:03:55.159 if like Star Wars entered at two twenty, you'd have 48 00:03:55.199 --> 00:04:01.680 ten minutes of like previews, commercials and like ePK really exactly. 49 00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:04.039 So if you had your movie ended at nine to 50 00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:06.919 thirty five, you had twenty five minutes to phill to 51 00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:09.159 get to ten o'clock to start the next feature. They 52 00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:13.680 would throw on little shorts and little videos, and they 53 00:04:14.039 --> 00:04:18.279 one of their animated shorts was the Balero sequence from 54 00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:23.720 this movie. So I had seen that sequence dozens upon 55 00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:26.480 dozens of times before I had seen this movie. In fact, 56 00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:29.839 I thought it was simply just another short film, like 57 00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:33.000 all of those Canadian board that the Board of Canada. 58 00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:34.800 I remember all of those short. 59 00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:37.000 Films, Oh, like the Snowman. 60 00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:40.839 The Big Snit, or the Back, the Cordell, Barker or Baker, 61 00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:43.720 all of those amazing shorts coming down from here. 62 00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:46.879 Snowman is the one I remember the most. 63 00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:52.800 Well, Yeah, it's that that haunting female over that equally 64 00:04:52.839 --> 00:04:57.360 haunting melancholic animation. Speaking of animation, when I first got 65 00:04:57.399 --> 00:05:01.279 to Los Angeles, I became a projectionist. My mentor named 66 00:05:01.399 --> 00:05:06.160 Chris Avanni, Projectionist Extraordinaire, who showed me this film on 67 00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:09.199 video tape, knowing how much I loved animation and the 68 00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:11.720 fact that I hadn't seen it, and he said, you're 69 00:05:11.720 --> 00:05:14.600 gonna love this. If you've seen Fantasica, it's a direct 70 00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:18.759 response to Fantasia. And the thing that the thing that 71 00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:22.279 I loved about the movie was that I was expecting 72 00:05:22.279 --> 00:05:25.759 a movie that just sort of gently pokes fun at Fantasia. 73 00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:29.680 This really is the lead character when he's introducing our 74 00:05:29.720 --> 00:05:33.399 film here basically calls it a Fantasia before he gets 75 00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:35.160 a call from the lawyers telling him he needs to 76 00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:37.439 knock that shit off because there's a Prisney or a 77 00:05:37.480 --> 00:05:38.560 Grisney on the phone. 78 00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:43.680 Yeah, which is it? Was that? What did you say 79 00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:45.560 about that guy? Is you gotta love that jacket? 80 00:05:45.959 --> 00:05:49.040 It is a fantastic jacket. It would make a fantastic jacket. 81 00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:50.079 Hell of a wallpaper. 82 00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:52.720 Yeah, it's just like it was funny, like a Hollywood calling. 83 00:05:53.319 --> 00:05:57.720 He apologizes, Hey, sorry, guys, it's it's Disney. I are 84 00:05:57.800 --> 00:06:00.920 Pisney or Wisney or whatever it is. But the way 85 00:06:00.920 --> 00:06:03.319 he's in, you know, Disney made me do this. And 86 00:06:03.439 --> 00:06:06.160 they go outside and the farmer like unpacks the old 87 00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:07.879 ladies from the chicken coop. 88 00:06:07.720 --> 00:06:11.160 Or whatever the hell that's the thing. So that sequence happens, 89 00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:15.240 The lawsuit threatened sequence happens, right, and my friend turns 90 00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:17.399 to me as if I'm going to be delighted at 91 00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:19.360 how they're taking the piss out of Disney here, and 92 00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:23.600 I'm like, okay. And then they go to get the orchestra, which, 93 00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:28.120 as you're saying, is a pen of like old Italian grannies. 94 00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:30.000 It was so weird. 95 00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:35.000 They're at the pound basically, and then they round up 96 00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:38.279 these old women, pack them up and bring them to 97 00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:40.319 the theater and they're the orchestra. 98 00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:43.240 And then they've got the artists chained up, like in 99 00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:45.160 the Dungeon artist. 100 00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:48.839 The animator, because it's that animated films are made on 101 00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:50.560 the fly by one human. 102 00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:52.360 With a magnimicent mustache. 103 00:06:52.959 --> 00:06:55.920 It's it's just so out there, and I'm like, is 104 00:06:55.959 --> 00:06:59.439 this Italian comedy?

That's the thing about Italian cinema, like Italian cinema, 109 00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:09.639 that there's one unifying theme in Italian cinema. 110 00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:13.759 It's weird, is wacky. I don't know how I was 111 00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:14.120 to put it. 112 00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:17.839 Everything is very dream like basically, I think everything is 113 00:07:17.839 --> 00:07:18.319 a dream. 114 00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:23.279 There tends to be an absurdist quality to nearly every 115 00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:25.319 piece of entertainment I've seen coming out of it. 116 00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:27.720 Yeah, And I mean I took Italian cinema in school 117 00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:30.160 the way back when, and I got all my best 118 00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:32.920 you know.

I love eight and a 120 00:07:34.439 --> 00:07:37.759 half because it's a fever dream about a horning middle 121 00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:40.959 aged director. I kind of know what that's like, you know, 122 00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:43.000 but it doesn't making any sense, but it's really cool 123 00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:45.519 to watch, and every time you watch it, you're gonna 124 00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:48.279 get something new out of it, you know. But still 125 00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:51.079 they're weird. I remember there was way back in the 126 00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:52.920 nineties and I loved Cemetery. 127 00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:53.160 Man. 128 00:07:53.240 --> 00:07:58.160 It was an Italian picture and it was about oh 129 00:07:58.199 --> 00:07:59.839 and it was a great movie.

It's fun to take a 242 00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:28.000 deep dive in because they have a really unique perspective 243 00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:32.080 on cinema. Everything, like you said, it's absurd, it's dreamlike, 244 00:13:32.879 --> 00:13:38.200 it's wacky, it's sexy, and and when the violence works, 245 00:13:38.200 --> 00:13:39.080 it's really fun. 246 00:13:39.519 --> 00:13:43.879 I often wonder with comedies from other countries. Now clearly 247 00:13:44.679 --> 00:13:48.799 visual gangs and slapstick just translate universally. 248 00:13:49.440 --> 00:13:51.799 Sure, heart is funny in any language, but. 249 00:13:51.799 --> 00:13:54.639 I wonder sometimes the tone of the comedy, particularly when 250 00:13:54.679 --> 00:13:57.279 it comes to slapstick, which we get a heap and 251 00:13:57.320 --> 00:14:01.159 help in here in a legoran On trip, I'm wondering 252 00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:05.799 if I were sitting in a cinema in Milan watching 253 00:14:05.799 --> 00:14:09.240 a leg on On on Tropo with with a contemporary audience. 254 00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:13.399 Are they guffine? Are they Are they laughing out loud 255 00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:14.320 at this humor? 256 00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:18.320 Yeah? I don't know. In nineteen seventy six, maybe I 257 00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:21.840 don't like. I don't know. There's one thing I know 258 00:14:21.840 --> 00:14:24.000 about italiabovies, and ever think any of them are funny 259 00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:26.039 intentionally anyways. 260 00:14:26.279 --> 00:14:28.039 I mean, this might be the same question I have 261 00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:31.759 about most American sitcoms. Are people laughing at this, you know? 262 00:14:32.360 --> 00:14:34.559 Or is it just like they're doing it because they 263 00:14:34.639 --> 00:14:37.080 think it's funny or they know that that's what the 264 00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:40.759 people think is funny. I don't know, because there are 265 00:14:40.799 --> 00:14:43.720 some jokes that work here. Obviously we're giggling about the 266 00:14:44.039 --> 00:14:47.000 premise more than the execution, which sure I wrote. 267 00:14:46.759 --> 00:14:49.080 Down one gag that works really well as the guy 268 00:14:49.200 --> 00:14:52.240 opening the bottle of champagne in the one of the 269 00:14:52.279 --> 00:14:54.720 live action sequence he pops of champagne, or and a 270 00:14:54.799 --> 00:14:56.639 not's a lady over in jenzl Bla hospitals. 271 00:14:57.200 --> 00:15:00.080 But the editing is good, and the gag works, and 272 00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:00.960 the gag plays. 273 00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:05.159 You know, now, when we watched Fantasia, we kind of 274 00:15:05.240 --> 00:15:07.960 bemoaned the deems tailorness of it all. 275 00:15:08.480 --> 00:15:11.279 Oh my god, I was missing deams tailor watching. 276 00:15:10.960 --> 00:15:13.960 This, you you wanted deems to come out and hit 277 00:15:14.039 --> 00:15:16.120 you to to the to the next piece and not 278 00:15:16.279 --> 00:15:19.279 just want to watch a ridiculous piece of comedy meant 279 00:15:19.279 --> 00:15:23.639 for nothing and nobody and not really linking anything at all. 280 00:15:23.960 --> 00:15:25.600 Do you know? Do you know there's a version of 281 00:15:25.600 --> 00:15:29.600 this film without the live action. There's there's a cut 282 00:15:29.639 --> 00:15:33.080 where they just have sort of clay lettering telling you 283 00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:34.919 the name of the next piece of music, and then 284 00:15:34.960 --> 00:15:37.039 it just goes right into it. It's ten minutes shorter. 285 00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:41.879 There's only ten Yeah, can you believe that? No, because 286 00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:43.799 I believe there's there's still some of it, like the 287 00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:46.559 setup in the end, because there kind of has to 288 00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:49.120 be the ending with because that there's so much live 289 00:15:49.159 --> 00:15:53.759 action animation sort of interaction there at the end. Okay, 290 00:15:53.879 --> 00:15:56.240 you know, but I guess my point is, or what 291 00:15:56.279 --> 00:15:59.080 I'm wondering is, would do you think it would have 292 00:15:59.080 --> 00:15:59.919 played better without? 293 00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:02.440 Oh? Yeah, I think so. You know a little bit 294 00:16:02.480 --> 00:16:04.039 of it is a little bit of it I think 295 00:16:04.080 --> 00:16:07.200 would would give it some flavor, But they just went 296 00:16:07.240 --> 00:16:08.039 overboard with it. 297 00:16:08.039 --> 00:16:10.360 It's just like these gags would just go alone and 298 00:16:10.440 --> 00:16:13.080 on and on and on. It was just like, you know, 299 00:16:13.120 --> 00:16:15.600 you can do one gag and then just move on 300 00:16:15.720 --> 00:16:16.360 and you're fine. 301 00:16:16.799 --> 00:16:18.720 You didn't need to go this whole thing. I like, 302 00:16:18.799 --> 00:16:24.279 there was like subplots with the waitress girl and the conductor, 303 00:16:24.519 --> 00:16:26.679 and I don't even think it was. 304 00:16:27.159 --> 00:16:29.399 I know it's meant to be stream of conscience, but 305 00:16:29.679 --> 00:16:32.840 like it was making Magical Mystery Tour look like, you know, 306 00:16:33.600 --> 00:16:35.519 thirty rocks, because that's how vegans. 307 00:16:35.639 --> 00:16:39.759 It's very unfocused and all over the place. But you know, 308 00:16:39.879 --> 00:16:42.679 those those tend to be strengths in Italian films, so 309 00:16:42.879 --> 00:16:44.879 I can't really fault them for that, and I don't 310 00:16:44.879 --> 00:16:46.759 fault them at all for even trying all of the 311 00:16:47.200 --> 00:16:49.720 sort of physical comedy that's going on. I just wish 312 00:16:49.919 --> 00:16:53.799 it was all edited by half. At least if each 313 00:16:53.799 --> 00:16:57.279 of the segments were half their current length, I think 314 00:16:57.320 --> 00:16:59.759 it would make the point and move on. Maybe that's 315 00:16:59.799 --> 00:17:02.840 a twenty twenty four sensibility that I just want to 316 00:17:02.879 --> 00:17:06.559 get to shit already. That attitude doesn't carry over to 317 00:17:06.599 --> 00:17:09.000 the shorts. By the way, I'm perfectly at ease letting 318 00:17:09.000 --> 00:17:11.400 them play out as long or as short as they 319 00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:14.160 want to be. They're they're each little pieces of wonder, 320 00:17:14.519 --> 00:17:19.200 but this linking device we The joke to me ended 321 00:17:19.240 --> 00:17:21.680 with We've rounded up these grannies and there are arts 322 00:17:21.960 --> 00:17:22.759 and I think. 323 00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:24.559 A lot of because my reaction to this was up 324 00:17:24.559 --> 00:17:28.440 and down and like that. The live action stuff takes 325 00:17:28.440 --> 00:17:30.680 away from it. It just kind of takes away from me. 326 00:17:30.759 --> 00:17:32.519 And it's just, man, this just reminds me of some 327 00:17:32.599 --> 00:17:36.319 college kid and you know his production three class. He's 328 00:17:36.359 --> 00:17:38.839 the weird one, you know, or never in the Doors 329 00:17:38.880 --> 00:17:43.559 movie where like you know Jim Morrison's film class. Yeah, 330 00:17:43.759 --> 00:17:45.680 and you know he just makes his wacky thing and 331 00:17:45.799 --> 00:17:48.599 just random stuff edited together and him reading poetry and 332 00:17:48.680 --> 00:17:50.240 Hitler and YadA, YadA, YadA. 333 00:17:50.480 --> 00:17:52.599 That's what I get from it. Here's some random stuff 334 00:17:52.599 --> 00:17:53.640 will be weird. 335 00:17:53.799 --> 00:17:56.920 And I didn't quite I agree with you about that. 336 00:17:57.440 --> 00:18:00.119 I don't think we I think we need it just 337 00:18:00.160 --> 00:18:03.440 a little bit, just just a smidge a scoche, as 338 00:18:03.480 --> 00:18:05.000 they say, because it. 339 00:18:04.920 --> 00:18:07.720 Wasn't even like verbal gag, like it wasn't even dialogue 340 00:18:07.720 --> 00:18:09.599 guys when they were all visual guys. 341 00:18:10.039 --> 00:18:14.960 Like okay, I will say because I said when when 342 00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:17.559 the movie began, and my friend said, it's this vicious 343 00:18:17.599 --> 00:18:19.240 takedown of Disney, and I was like, what the hell 344 00:18:19.279 --> 00:18:21.920 are you even talking about. Once they rounded the grannies up, 345 00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:24.880 the lead character does effectively turn to the camera and say, 346 00:18:24.960 --> 00:18:27.839 would Disney do this? And that made me, yeah, so 347 00:18:28.119 --> 00:18:28.920 fucking hard. 348 00:18:29.640 --> 00:18:31.359 Yeah, well they kid have a bunch of grannies. 349 00:18:31.599 --> 00:18:36.160 Yeah, but this is all just prelude. It as Fantasia 350 00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:39.279 as it is. It really is. I'm shocked at how 351 00:18:39.359 --> 00:18:42.400 how much it is. It's not necessarily in the same sequence. 352 00:18:42.440 --> 00:18:45.440 It isn't an analogue. Not all of them are one. 353 00:18:45.519 --> 00:18:47.160 For one sort of question. 354 00:18:47.240 --> 00:18:50.640 There are moments definitely, the the Bolero with. 355 00:18:50.680 --> 00:18:55.680 All that ballero, and the first segment definitely oh yeah, yeah, 356 00:18:56.279 --> 00:18:59.920 because the first segment is sent to Claude Debussa's prelude. 357 00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:03.079 Oh I'm not it's it's basically the Fawn. I'm not 358 00:19:03.079 --> 00:19:06.000 going to mangle the French here. But the story we're 359 00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:10.000 given is this one. It's it's not the right of Spring, 360 00:19:10.240 --> 00:19:13.079 that's the dinosaur sequence from Fantasia. It's the we know 361 00:19:13.119 --> 00:19:15.160 what it is. It's all the satyrs and the we 362 00:19:15.599 --> 00:19:18.319 talked about it. They're they're sort of very gentle back andal, 363 00:19:18.759 --> 00:19:22.240 but here we we get a satyr who is still 364 00:19:22.359 --> 00:19:25.680 lusty and full of virility in his mind, but he 365 00:19:25.759 --> 00:19:29.559 is an elderly one who can't find mate. And and 366 00:19:29.759 --> 00:19:33.079 that's basically it. It's him trying to trying to snare 367 00:19:33.279 --> 00:19:36.480 a woman, and every time he almost does so, he 368 00:19:36.519 --> 00:19:41.680 gets a look of such menace and and and fright, 369 00:19:41.759 --> 00:19:43.359 it's frightening. It's a frightening look. 370 00:19:43.759 --> 00:19:45.680 Yeah, it's bad because I'm just like, you know, I'm single. 371 00:19:46.000 --> 00:19:48.079 You know I'm not I'm not pretty chicken anymore. I'm like, 372 00:19:48.440 --> 00:19:50.799 maybe here's getting lighter, I can say with the eyes 373 00:19:50.799 --> 00:19:54.000 with this morning, little fucker. But I think he's his 374 00:19:54.079 --> 00:19:56.880 own worst enemy because maybe if he just be himself 375 00:19:57.480 --> 00:20:01.039 one of those hot nude Italian cartoons, ldies would would 376 00:20:01.039 --> 00:20:04.160 pay him mine. But instead he's constantly trying to change 377 00:20:04.160 --> 00:20:08.640 his appearance and do everything to like, you know, make 378 00:20:08.720 --> 00:20:10.960 himself look phony and younger. There's a point where he 379 00:20:11.000 --> 00:20:14.640 looked like like Rudy Giuliani, sweating down with like his 380 00:20:14.720 --> 00:20:17.359 hair dye sweating down his face, where he's you know, 381 00:20:18.079 --> 00:20:20.680 give him one of those stupid press conferences the last election. 382 00:20:21.160 --> 00:20:24.799 Yeah he has some helpful Woodland friends who jump in 383 00:20:24.880 --> 00:20:27.920 and fucking make him up and yeah, make him make 384 00:20:27.960 --> 00:20:30.119 him look attractive to the ladies and it's working. And 385 00:20:30.160 --> 00:20:33.440 then the dummy jumps into the fucking lake. Yeah you're 386 00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:34.880 doing SADR. I'm on you. 387 00:20:35.519 --> 00:20:39.119 I feel bad, but I was just like, I look boobs. 388 00:20:39.119 --> 00:20:41.960 Oh yes, let's let's talk about that. The Italians are 389 00:20:42.039 --> 00:20:48.720 not shy Italian He yeah, there's no there's no strategically 390 00:20:48.759 --> 00:20:54.599 placed hair cascading down a female satyr's breasts in this one. 391 00:20:55.000 --> 00:20:59.759 These are just nude human women running around and they're free, 392 00:20:59.759 --> 00:21:02.839 and they're hippies, and they're seen in some cases. 393 00:21:03.640 --> 00:21:06.160 And and he just get and by the end of 394 00:21:06.400 --> 00:21:07.799 a boob tree. 395 00:21:07.400 --> 00:21:10.359 And like yeah, is he completely wigging out? 396 00:21:10.680 --> 00:21:12.680 Uh? And all of a sudden it's like, oh, look, 397 00:21:12.680 --> 00:21:15.519 I've been walking around on a giant boom all along. Well. 398 00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:18.039 What's funny is with each dejection he gets smaller and 399 00:21:18.119 --> 00:21:22.680 smaller until he effectively is is is doomed to walk 400 00:21:23.160 --> 00:21:27.200 the geography of a woman's body. We've all been there, though, 401 00:21:27.720 --> 00:21:31.920
