Neri Parenti
Fantozzi subisce ancora

THE REVIEW

The most famous accountant in Italy, in this chapter of his saga, deals with summer fun and being grandparents...

Indeed, at the beginning of the film, we see that Fantozzi has to go on a seaside trip with his colleagues, a trip that, however, will turn out to be bitter for him because he believes he has finally conquered the beloved Miss Silvani, only to soon discover that it was a misunderstanding.

As mentioned, Fantozzi then learns that his vile daughter Mariangela is pregnant and, after a moment of anger, decides to go talk to her "seducer," an incredible and highly inspired Andrea Roncato in the role of the Latin lover Loris Batacchi ("nomen Omen"...)

After realizing that Batacchi had no intention of taking responsibility for the child, Fantozzi then decides to resort to a clinic to perform an abortion. Unfortunately, however, the designated doctor is not there, and the accountant, by mistake, ends up on an operating table, where they perform the amputation of his (tiny) penis.

After getting back what was taken, Fantozzi and his wife have no choice but to accept the birth of the little monster that comes out of their daughter...

The film concludes with more misadventures in athletics games organized by the newly promoted accountant Fonelli to "megadirector."

"Fantozzi subisce ancora" is a movie still full of ideas and hilarious gags, like the scene in the hospital when the accountant has to pay every time he needs to ask for information. Villaggio and Parenti, once again, depict terribly all the vices and twists of Italians, making us laugh uproariously. The two artists are indeed relentless in describing social plagues such as work absenteeism, healthcare corruption, misconduct, and ambition in the workplace.

Highly recommended film.
