If you loved The Marquis of Grillo, try My Friends
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Mario Monicelli, and they both carry the foreign gem, playful mood tags, and they sit in Comedy territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Marquis of Grillo, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What My Friends is
Four lifelong buddies misfire adulting so spectacularly they treat rent due and receding hairlines like improv sketches. Borrowing cars without asking, they rehearse middle-age despair like vaudeville acts. It’s a kindergarten of carnage that somehow stays just this side of likable.
