Some time ago I watched the almanac of Dino Risi’s short films “Monsters”, about which I then wrote, now I decided to watch the second almanac “New Monsters” (1977), which this time was shot by Dino Risi, Mario Monicelli and Ettore Scola. The Almanac was filmed, in fact, as a charity project, the money went to the treatment of seriously ill colleague Hugo Guerra, at first it was not even made public who filmed what part. Unfortunately, the rental version did not include all 14 skits, but only 9, part was censored, I found out after looking at one version, then, however, I managed to find a version, which was later demonstrated, to which some (very poor-quality) attached another 3 sketches, but two I have not yet found. To tell the truth, I liked the first almanac better, but this one continued the same theme – how immoral, cruel, indifferent, selfish people are, in general, the topic of terrorism is already touched upon here, just in the part that I looked at earlier. As always, good are Vittorio Gassman, Hugo Tognazzi and Alberto Sordi, Ornella Muti.
