"Alberto Express"
1991
Directed by Arthur Joffe

An absurdist comedy about the strange predicament of Alberto, a man nearing 40 and broke, whose family's byzantine rules stipulate he must remunerate his parents for the money spent on his upbringing. In this black comedy about the bonds fractured over family and money, Alberto must find the means to pay off his family or risk losing his forthcoming child. With Sergio Castellitto, Nino Manfredi, Marie Trintignant, Michel Aumont and Jeanne Moreau. French and Italian with English subtitles.
90 minutes.
