Pasquale Festa Campanile

Director

Italian film director and screenwriter known for popular comedies and genre films from the mid-20th century through the 1980s.

Directed and wrote films that worked with actors such as Renato Pozzetto, Ornella Muti and Adriano Celentano; several reviewed films are set in Milan and address themes including sexuality, social critique and environmental motifs.

Three DeBaser reviews examine Campanile's early-1980s films, focusing on comedy, romance and social themes. Nessuno è perfetto is discussed for its handling of transgender/transsexual themes; Un povero ricco highlights Renato Pozzetto's comic pathos; Bingo Bongo is read as an absurd environmental fable. Overall reception ranges from appreciative to critical.

For:Fans of Italian 1980s comedy and romance, and readers interested in sexuality and social themes in classic Italian film.

 we really reach the peak since it legitimizes nothing less than transsexualism and transgenderism.
