I Know That You Know That I Know

I Know That You Know That I Know (Io so che tu sai che io so, 1982) — watch online on iFILM — is an Italian comedy written, directed by and starring Alberto Sordi, opposite Monica Vitti.

Fabio Bonetti is a bank clerk: football fan, fisherman, habitual grumbler. He accidentally discovers that someone is having his wife Livia tailed. The private detective clarifies it was a mistake — wrong woman. But now Fabio knows. Livia knows that he knows. The detective knows they both know. A marital cold war blooms out of a single clerical error, and neither side can stop pulling at the thread.

Sordi and Vitti are one of Italian cinema's sharpest comic pairs of the era, and the film works equally as farce and as a quietly accurate portrait of a marriage running on empty. Stream I Know That You Know That I Know (1982) on iFILM.
