01
Divorce Italian Style
Why this pick
Germi’s earlier Sicilian satire shares the brisk, darkly comic view of courtship, respectability and provincial social rules, with a precisely controlled farcical escalation.

02
Seduced and Abandoned
Why this pick
Another sharp Germi ensemble comedy: family honour, gossip and sexual double standards turn a small-town predicament into exuberant, uncomfortable social satire.
03
The Seduction of Mimi
Why this pick
Its boisterous, politically barbed comedy follows romantic and marital hypocrisy with the same appetite for unruly characters and cruelly funny social observation.
04
Il Sorpasso
Why this pick
Risi pairs broad comic energy with an increasingly bittersweet portrait of Italian masculinity and changing postwar society, driven by vivid character contrast.
05
The Monsters
Why this pick
A mordant collection of comic sketches targeting everyday Italian vanity, corruption and sexual hypocrisy; ideal for the satirical bite and ensemble texture of Germi’s film.
