L'ARMATA BRANCALEONE
FOR LOVE AND GOLD
Mario Monicelli / 120 min / 1966 / Italy
A ramshackle company of mercenaries, led by the vainglorious Brancaleone da Norcia, faces a series of vicissitudes while crossing 11th century Italy on horseback. Monicelli's film is both an Italian comedy and a picaresque narrative, with an entirely invented macaronic language, and although set in the Middle Ages it continues to be an evergreen masterpiece.
