About This Movie

Morto Troisi, viva Troisi! has a unique charm that layers comedy with a bit of melancholy. Massimo Troisi directs himself in this TV movie that plays with the absurd idea of his own death. The pacing is relaxed, giving room for various nostalgic tributes from familiar faces like Gianni Boncompagni and Maria Giovanna Elmi, which adds a warm, almost intimate atmosphere. The humor is often understated, with moments of surrealism, like Benigni peering through a window. The interaction between Troisi and Lello Arena is particularly delightful, creating this guardian angel dynamic that feels both heartfelt and comedic. It's a fascinating exploration of life, legacy, and, of course, laughter, wrapped up in Troisi's unmistakable style.
