Anplagghed al cinema is a 2006 Italian comedy film directed by the popular comic group "Aldo, Giovanni & Giacomo". The film is a series of sketches that revolve around the theme of cinema and its influence on everyday life.
The first sketch shows a man waiting in a long queue at an ATM machine. He accidentally drops his wallet, which is picked up by a thief who proceeds to withdraw all his money. The man, now penniless, tries to withdraw more money without success, but the ATM machine refuses to dispense any more money. Frustrated, he returns home to find the thief waiting for him and demanding more money.
In another sketch, a family is shown displaced after a seismic shock that has half washed away their home. They seek help from the government, but bureaucracy and incompetence prevent them from receiving any assistance. They are forced to live in a tent on the beach, where they encounter a group of eccentric tourists who provide them with temporary shelter.
The film also features a sketch that takes place in an art gallery, where Aldo, Giovanni & Giacomo play three art critics with contrasting opinions on a painting that is being exhibited. They argue and bicker while a clueless guide tries to explain the artwork to them.
The sketches in Anplagghed al cinema are characterized by a mix of physical comedy, farce, and paradoxical situations. The film is a reflection on the absurdities of modern life and the influence of cinema on our everyday experiences.
