“You have to take responsibility for what is politically incorrect. Of course, in the cinema you are freer, but on television you pay more attention because you are addressing an audience that hasn't paid you, in the cinema you have to stay within a story and therefore it is more complicated, but one thing is certain: The People want to have a good laugh. Word of Pio and Amedeo, who bring Come pu un scoglio by Gennaro Nunziante to cinemas from December 28th with Vision Distribution.
That's the story. Pio (Pio D'Antini) is a weakling who has been forced to do everything by his late father Salvatore, a rich builder.
Video Pio and Amedeo: “Our comedy in line with popular opinion”
Pio is a lawyer and married to Borromea, father of two children, Ginevra and Manfredi. He lives in the castle of the Pasin Marquises, his wealthy in-laws who make Prosecco. Now a group of local business owners have nominated him as mayor of the city because they can easily maneuver him as a weakling.
But his gray life suddenly comes to life when he hires a driver: Amedeo (Amedeo Grieco), a turbulent boy who has been in prison several times.
The latter will be a real breakthrough in Pio's life because it will revolutionize all his certainties, make him discover things that he had not even imagined and, finally, also allow him to recover the life that he had only partially lived.
The cast of How can a rock (the title refers to a verse from Lucio Battisti's song “I would like… Not I would like… But if you want”) also includes Francesca Valtorta, Nicola Rignanese, Christina Andrea Rosamilia and Claudio Bigagli.
This film continues the collaboration between director and screenwriter Gennaro Nunziante and the comedian duo from Foggia.
After working on Belli ciao (2022), the trio returns to the screen with Come Pu Uno Scoglio, the seventh film by Nunziante and the fourth test in front of the camera for Pio and Amedeo.
Aside from Belli ciao, the duo debuted with Amici come noi in 2014 and then appeared in the comedy Ma tu di che forza 6? the same year. with. by Neri Parenti.
“Someone who watches our film does so because they want to see a light comedy. And that's because he feels the need to break away from life's problems. This is our temporary task,” says Amedeo. “We.” are “middle comedians” in their forties, artists who are still working their way up and are so completely different from the web phenomena that I hope will instead follow the traditional path like ours to listen to wants real people”.
And again Amedeo returns to the case of Chiara Ferragni, about which he had already spoken with Iene: “Beyond the sympathy or antipathy that one may have for Chiara Ferragni, I hope that her case is the beginning of the end of this fleeting world. This is it.” There is no denying that it is the symbol of a certain cultural degradation. A person who says, “I apologize and give a million euros” is a person who underestimates people’s intelligence.”
