Synopsis
Fantozzi to the Rescue (Fantozzi alla riscossa, 1990) is an Italian comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Director Neri Parenti and Paolo Villaggio return with another round of disasters for Italy's most reliable loser — this one picking up after Fantozzi Goes Retired.
Fantozzi is finally free of the office. Then a jury summons arrives. His stubborn honesty lands him in prison. Behind bars he finds an unlikely teacher — a certain Mr. Hooligan — and emerges transformed, briefly respected, even influential. Anyone who has seen a Fantozzi film before knows exactly how long that lasts. Milena Vukotic is back as the long-suffering wife, and Gigi Reder returns as the devoted Fanfani.
The Fantozzi series ran for over two decades on the strength of one simple idea: the small man crushed by institutions, by bad luck, by everyone around him — played without self-pity, just with total commitment. Villaggio never got tired of the role, and it shows. Stream Fantozzi to the Rescue (1990) online on iFILM.
