Benigni - Vita de Cioni

Sarcastic, desperate, furious: these are the extraordinary monologues of the “first“ Roberto Benigni, who here impersonates the legendary underclass Mario Cioni. Directed by Giuseppe Bertolucci, “Vita da Cioni“ landed on Rai’s Second Network in 1978 after being blocked by censors for two years due to its many irreverences on topics such as sex and politics. Director: Giuseppe Bertolucci Cast: Roberto Benigni, Carlo Monni, Chiara Moretti
