Blessed Madness

Blessed Madness (Benedetta follia, 2018) is an Italian comedy from Carlo Verdone you can watch online on iFILM. Verdone also takes the lead as a pious, almost comically faithful husband who runs a little shop of religious goods — until the morning he wakes up suddenly single.

His tidy, predictable world caves in overnight. Into the shop walks Luciana (Ilenia Pastorelli), a brash, thoroughly modern assistant who flips both his business and his love life upside down. What grows between these two mismatched people turns out awkward, funny and quietly touching. Verdone, a fixture of Roman comedy, stays squarely in his lane — gentle mockery of a grown man yanked out of his comfort zone. Stream Blessed Madness (2018) online on iFILM.
