So, 'Puro siccome un angelo papà mi fece monaco... di Monza' is quite the quirky comedy from 1969. It’s got a unique premise—this kid from a noble family is sent to a convent, and things go awry when he hooks up with a novice. The absurdity ramps up when he's punished in a rather grim way, being walled up for decades. It has this odd mix of humor and dark themes that gives it a distinct flavor. The pacing is interesting, sometimes it feels like a farce and other times it drags a bit, but that’s part of its charm. Performances are lively, capturing the over-the-top spirit well, and the practical effects, while not groundbreaking, add a certain charm that makes it feel authentically of its time.
This film is a bit of a rarity, not widely circulated which makes it intriguing for collectors. Its unique blend of humor and darker themes often sparks discussions among Italian cinema enthusiasts. It’s seen some varied formats over the years, the VHS editions are particularly sought after. If you can find a decent print of it, it’s one of those odd gems that adds character to any collection.
