Benvenuti al Nord (2012 Luca Miniero)

Scr Fabio Bonifacci & Miniero
Mus Umberto Scipione
Ph. Paolo Carnera
Dany Boon is Exec Prod.

As before: Claudio Bisio, Alessandro Siani, Angela Finocchiaro, Valentina Lodovini.

The first film in reverse, with Siani coming to Milan, and finding it as predicted foggy, fast and unfriendly. Worse, friend Bisio has taken to eating sushi and other indigestibles. Usual dialect / regional jokes e.g. remote places in Italy no one has heard of; some may or may not make it through the translation (for example, I wasn't sure if 'I'm slightly developing a Tuscan accent' was a joke or not. Is there a Tuscan accent?)



"In typical Milanese style, my welcome dinner is also my farewell. It saves time."


Fluffy film was one of the biggest box office openers in Italy.
