About Italiano medio
A committed environmentalist whose hyperfixation with everything that's wrong with the world is taking a toll on his marriage tries a pill that reduces human brain capacity from the usual 20% to a mere 2%. Which puts him on a par with your typical man on the street.
Directed by Maccio Capatonda, Italiano medio leans on a strong ensemble — Maccio Capatonda, Herbert Ballerina, Enrico Venti — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2015.
