Michel, a fishmonger and a naturally gregarious clown, decides to audition for Grande Fratello, the Italian version of Big Brother. Almost immediately, the possibility of appearing on the show begins disrupting his life—and the choices he makes. Reality presents the fantastical as “normal life,” and, as the film proceeds, the difference between fantasy and reality begins to slip away from Michel. It is an explosively colorful fable loaded with tangible delights; go see it. (DAVID SCHMADER)
