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). The inadequateness of Pozzetto-"country boy" in relating to Milan is reminiscent of that of Totò in another extremely popular film, '' Toto, Peppino, and the Hussy''. Plot Artemio (Pozzetto) is annoyed by his monotonous life as a farmer in the countryside of Lombardy. 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 ...
