You Disturb Me

This is an early Benigni showing his great comedy potential. There are four stories, connected only by the main actor. The first is also the funniest, with Benigni as a clumsy shepherd babysitting little Jesus Christ for a night. Full of blasphemous moments, and still quite innocent, the story offers an alternative origin of many moments from the later life of Jesus. The second one is an allegory of married life, with a few twists. Also very amusing. The third one may be the weakest, about a man getting a loan from the bank. However, it seems to me that quite a few jokes were lost in translation; I only managed to decipher a few. The last story is about two watchmen guarding the eternal flame beside Altare della Patria. Benigni is bored and bothers his mate with childish and silly jokes, bothering all of us in the way... To recapitulate, it is a funny little film, and Benigni fans won't be dissapointed.
