Il Ragazzo Di Campagna
''Il ragazzo di campagna'' ("The country boy") is a 1984 Italian comedy film directed by Franco Castellano and Giuseppe Moccia. It was shown as part of a retrospective on Italian comedy at the 67th Venice International Film Festival. ''Il ragazzo di campagna'' has a cult status in Italian culture in its satyrical representation of the contradictions of the hectic life in Milan in the mid-1980s, the years of the '' sorpasso'' (e.g., when Artemio resolves to take a taxi cab to cross the street in the impossibly trafficked Piazza San Babila).

On his 40th birthday, he decides to move to the big city of Milan and look for a job and a new life there. There he meets his cousin Severino (Massimo Boldi), who is supposed t ...
