Montesano stars as Carlo, Il Paramedico - Edwige Fenech also
stars as his bored wife - and, unless we're more confused than
we thought, we're fairly certain "Paramedico" means
something a little different in Italy than it does in America.
Here, we associate a "paramedic" with ambulance medical
care -- in this film, the character APPEARS to be something
of a male nurse ... making rounds in an overcrowded hospital
ward, for example, probably able to provide basic medical assistance,
but possibly without a physician's training.
The basic plot -- a paramedic whose life is changed when he
falls madly in love with his brand new car and is mistaken for
a terrorist -- doesn't even begin to touch upon the physical
comedy in this movie that makes you burst out laughing ... (i.e.,
he spends half an hour carefully polishing specks off this new
car with his shirt sleeve only to have a dog trot over and "christen"
the glistening sidewalls; his wife's disinterest in sex inspires
a passionate dream ... about her becoming a celibate nun; and
after his arrest as a "terrorist", his family and
neighbors rush to be on TV and reinterpret perfectly innocent
incidents from his life in light of this new information) --
if you have any sense of humor at all, you'll enjoy this! |
