3º – The Monster (Roberto Benigni, 1994)
Roberto Benigni is known for his positive work ahead of ‘Life is Beautiful’, but three years earlier, the Italian had already brought an extremely entertaining comedy to his audience. ‘The Monster’ draws heavily on a physical humor, where comic situations arise in a more truncated way, almost imposed on the viewer, without, however, losing its momentum. Forgotten by the time, this film promotes hilarious situations in each scene explored.
2º – Man on the Moon (Milos Forman, 1999)
The film uncovers the life and work of comedian Andy Kaufman, exposing his eccentric behavior, his agitated routine and his sense of amorality that rules him. ‘Man on the Moon’ still provides the viewer with one of the greatest performances of Jim Carrey’s career, which is simply unrepeatable here.
1º – Bitter Moon (Roman Polanski, 1992)
Happening on a cruise, the plot unfolds, alternating between past and present, under the lives of four characters, showing everything that touches that mysterious aura that guides each individual. Following the line Roman Polanski has traced throughout his filmography, ‘Bitter Moon’ brings a puzzle to the viewer, always using the sense of latent sexuality that emanates from each unevenness of history.
